Last year I wanted to photograph the old growth forests in Temagami, Ontario. These forests are amazing - white pines almost 4 feet wide at the base. I thought about how I wanted to document these forests to help convey their age. I decided to go to this region in September when cool nights and surrounding lakes would create lots of mist. This image was captured on a cool, cloudless morning before sunrise - hence the blue cast. I think the blue cast helps this image. For me, the mist and the white pine that is towering over the surrounding forest creates an ancient forest feeling. Perhaps even prehistoric.
