Hej dear TL members.
It was Sunday, finally a day off duty, the weather was beautiful, sun from a sky whiteout clouds, a good temperature, about 11 Celsius a nice temperature, when one it thinking about the time of the year. My wife and I decided to take a walk in a nearby forest, a forest called “Dyrehaven” is well known by any Dane.
History about “Dyrehaven”.
In 1669 Frederik III decided that the wood of "Boveskov" ("Beech wood") should be fenced in and wild deer from the surrounding areas driven in to the newly created park. Boveskov was already well-known as the former property of Valdemar the Victorious as it had been recorded in his census (the Liber Census Danić) of 1231. The forest lay in the westerly and southerly part of the present Dyrehaven and encompassed land used by the farmers from the village of Stokkerup, which lay to the north. Fencing work consisted of excavating a ditch, the earth from which was built up in a bank on the outside walls of the ditch, on the opposite side to the centre of the park. On the top of the bank posts were driven into the ground and fences was installed. This made it more difficult for the deer to leap the fence, as the rise between the ditch and the bank effectively increased the level of the fence. The ditch and bank can still be seen for a long stretch in the south-easterly part of the current park. The work was never finished, as Frederik III died in 1670. The design, however, is still on record, and the area for the scheme worked out at around 3 square kilometres. When Frederik's son, Christian V, became king, he laid out new and more ambitious plans for Dyrehaven.
During his education Christian V had spent time at the court of the Louis XIV in France. Here had he seen another type of hunting practice, parforce (hunting with dogs), that he wished to adopt. This style of hunting required a greater area of land for its practice, so Christian V increased the boundaries to include the fields up to the village of Stokkerup (the area known today as Eremitagesletten), as well as taking in the land that today is Jćgersborg Hegn. The additional enclosure increased the size of the park to 16 square kilometres. The inhabitants of Stokkerup, whose village pond still lies within Eremitagesletten area, were ordered to tear down their houses and make use of the materials to rebuild the farms in the area that had stood empty since the Northern Wars. They were compensated for this by having a period of three years during which they were exempt from taxation
Off course I brought my camera (Canon) with me, the light and the color here is magnificent, I made a lot off shots out there, and I will give you some in the following days, sorry but that is the way its going to be.
Especially the light in this area is worth seeing, it is that special, that one could go around there for days only enjoying the light and off course all the animals going around you all the time.
This first one is taking directly against the sun, the sun coming through the treetops, gives a special effect that I love very much. Hope you like it.

Hi Jens, sorry , no to this photo.
You are realy much better than this. I know you're good idea behind it, to create a mist-foggy photo like we see with Refugee(David), This one has a haze and it is unsharp.
Hope you dont mind my honesty, I like your other photo's
but this is not one in the good book

Hej Jens,
Fantastic shot, PP-work and clever use of light. I exactly have the feeling I watch a nature movie from the 1960's.
A bit of OE here and there, but I like the photo as it is. For me it's a great one. Tfs.
Merry X-mas, respectfully Yours, László
