Description
showing the hunsr�the region in southwestern germany where i grew up - the last photo in this themepack is a slightly more personal one. the hunsr�ea not only offers a beautiful hilly landscape which is abundantly covered with dark, almost mystical forests. it also has a rich cultural history dating back more than 20,000 years. even today, the forests are full of witnesses of the celtic civilisation, which reached its peak in the region about 2,500 years ago. not far from where i shot this picture, one can easily spot a celtic barrow in which the people of ancient times used to bury their most important peers. numerous treasures containing daedal golden jewelry and weapons have been found during the last centuries. walking through these woods, admiring the traces of the ancient past while enjoying the pristine nature will certainly remain one of my favorite distractions., , i shot this photo on a hike through the forests close to my home village lampaden back in february 2008. we had just left the woods at the right time to see a nice sunset with a beautifully colored sky. i specifically liked the silhouette of a pine tree - a typical tree for the hunsr�ea - at the edge of the forest and how it contrasted with the colorful sky. i thus chose a low shooting angle to frame the sky with the silhouettes of the tree and the grass.
