The Dancing Light of Life (Forest in the Harz mountains)

The dancing light of life

In the forest's embrace, where pines ascend like timeless keepers, I find a sanctuary for introspection. A pressing question takes root between the whispering leaves: When last did my heart beat with a truth so profound that it echoed in the deepest caverns of my soul?

When your light spilled into my world, it did more than just brighten my existence; it brought radiating warmth within me that glows with an unmistakable halo. And in our silent understanding, energies entangled, crafting a bond that illuminates even the darkest recesses of my being.

As I look up, witnessing the light's dance, a new pattern comes to life, slowly painting a breathtaking picture.

Forest in the Harz mountains

Captured in the quiet embrace of winter 2023, this photograph hails from the serene woodlands of "Heers" in my birthplace, Blankenburg (Harz). This stretch of forest lies in the Harz district's northern foothills, a natural bridge between Blankenburg and Halberstadt. Here, pines planted from the late 19th to the early 20th century reach skyward, their scent a crisp reminder of the earth's fragrant whispers. Nestled near the edges of this pine-clad sanctuary, the historic Regenstein Castle and Fortress stand sentinel, echoing stories of the past amidst the silent watch of these evergreen guardians.

Hi there, I'm Stefanie, the photographer, and author of the blog post you're reading now.
