Within Forests

Do you know Halerbos - the blue forest in Belgium? Here some sample pictures.

This forest is situated close to Bruxelles nearby the town of Halle. Every year (around May 1st) millions of blue bell-flowers cover the ground nearly completely. A fantastic sight. I think, I have to go back in 2016. This year I just discovered it by accident.

Hi Mr Bean.
Very interesting, is that caused by a termite or other bug, or a toddler with a biro? ;D

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham,

The zigzag tracks are tunnels made by the larvae of the scribbly gum moth. On rare occasions, children with biros ;)

The wood up the road was quite magical the day before yesterday. Green, still, silent. Just lots of trees, lots of leaves, and some mushrooms :)

These are stitched panoramas taken handheld with the 5Ds and 70-200L IS II.
