Ancient Forests of Northern Spain

From Navarra to the Basque country

As I delve into the heart of Northern Spain, I find myself enveloped by an ancient realm that time has forgotten. Towering sentinels of nature, these forests stand as testament to centuries of growth and evolution. As a photographer, I am entranced by the whispers of the wind through the leaves, the dappled sunlight dancing upon the forest floor, and the rich tapestry of life woven within.

Each step through this verdant sanctuary reveals a new wonder. Moss-covered stones, worn smooth by the passage of ages, hint at the ancient civilizations that once traversed these woods. The air is alive with the calls of unseen creatures, from the melodious trill of songbirds to the haunting hoots of nocturnal hunters.

Majestic oaks, their gnarled branches reaching skyward, form a canopy so dense that it filters the sunlight into ethereal shafts of golden radiance. Beneath this canopy, a lush undergrowth thrives, a haven for ferns, fungi, and delicate wildflowers. The forest floor is a patchwork of vibrant colors and intricate textures, a feast for the senses.

As I raise my camera to capture the essence of this ancient forest, I am humbled by its grandeur and resilience. Here, amidst the towering giants and hidden wonders, I find myself transported to a realm where time stands still, and the spirit of nature reigns supreme. In every photograph, I strive to convey the awe and reverence that this sacred place inspires within me, hoping to share its timeless beauty with the world.
