Green Cathedral. A low-angle, one-point perspective photograph of a long forest path during a rainy Dutch winter. Towering, bare trees arch overhead like the vaulted ceiling of a cathedral, their branches etched against a pale, overcast sky. Fine lines of falling rain are visible against the dark trunks, and the wet path reflects the soft, misty light. In the distant center, a tiny silhouette of a person walking a dog stands at the vanishing point, grounded in the vast, architectural scale of the woods.

Natalie Romana Albers - Green Cathedral
Dutch winters are both rainy and windy. In the distance along the path, someone is walking in the rain with their dog, unaware that they are standing in a cathedral of trees.
