Fresh leaves covering the trees of a forest, rendered in monochrome. A centered column of light washes over impenetrable plants of the forest floor.

Captured near dusk in the Aurora West Forest Preserve of Aurora, IL, USA. Because I cannot convey the glorious harmony that a reawakened nature fostered by setting light and gentle warmth inspired, I hope that this still-brilliant light showcasing so many flowers and fresh leaves will do so for me.
