Photo Safari: Magical Forest

There's a block on a street near my neighborhood made up of undeveloped land that's for sale. It's only a few acres squashed between busy roads and neighborhoods, but when I would drive past it at sunset, the way the light filtered through the trees and vines made it look like a magical forest. You almost expect to see tiny fairies zipping around in there, glittering in the warm light. I promised myself over a year ago that I'd take a walk down to photograph it at dusk one day.

After an inspiring Saturday with my friend Shelly, I finally worked up the creative energy to hike over to the magical forest with my phone. Here are some of the results - all photos featured here were taken with Hipstamatic.



See any fairies yet?
I took this kind of creepy shot of an abandoned glove on the walk home. It's only about a foot away from the road, so I'm sure it just blew out of someone's work truck as he drove past. I'm sure the folks driving past as I was photographing this were really confused!
