Sherwood forest on a winters day.

A mesmerising low sun , on a winters day, that prolongs and accentuates the shadows. The contrasts between dark and light was beautiful and the sun was causing a faint mist within the trees.
As I was walking the teaching from Buddha in the Dhammapada ' The pairs' sprang to mind.
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage... If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."
