Kate Crittenden, Eternal Spring (September theme: Water)

I stumbled across this magical forest scene on my lunch break (!) while working in a tiny village in the Italian mountains. I didn’t have a tripod with me and I ended up rock hopping to get to the centre of the river, very nearly ending up in the icy cold water. The cloud cover created just the right light for this 5/2 second exposure.
