This was a hard one..I came off the main path through a narrow opening and into the woods,A narrow path led me to some stepping stones,They had water running over them from the rains we have been having..I crossed the stones getting my feet wet..I came upon a set of wooden steps,Hidden underneath overgrown Brambles and nettles,I got pretty cut up and stung decending and almost falling on a couple of occasions..When I reached the flood plain on the bottom it was very soft and as I made my way to the fall I was sinking deeper and deeper..I eventually made it and as I stood there,I noticed that I was slowly sinking into the mire..A few quick pictures and I exited to horrible sucking noises,Making my way back to the top,In the process running the gauntlet of the nettles and Brambles..I hope you like this..It took a lot of effort to present it...R.

Beautiful image and a very 'interesting' narrative, Richie.

See however that you've survived this 'adventure', else we hadn't seen this splendid post!

Thanks for not only this image but for taking this risk and for the done effort as well.

Regards, Cornelius.

It is indeed a beautiful scene well captured. But whether it was worth risking so much - that is left to the adventurer himself Richie. Hope you carry a cell phone with you.

You are more daring than I! I would have had to settle for a less than perfect shot. Another cracker, Biff.

Well I am glad you were not lost in the quicksand or what ever it was sucking you under !
It certainly was an effort to capture this but the result is simply splendidly stunningly superb.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Sounds like you and Skitzo should go on a photo shoot together Count B. It was worth the effort.
Congrats on getting two of your owls into the perms. Les must like you. :)

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

R. this simply stunning a perfect image, and I could see this as a wall hanging or in a a magazine, Be careful out there my friend, I hope Doreen knows of where your planning on going, and hopefully you have a cell phone on you, that has a signal.

Definitely worth the effort, Richie. You have supreme control of that camera. Maybe even more than your footing. ha ha!

That must have felt odd, to be sinking while you were shooting. Excellent shot indeed.
