McDowell / Van Leer Land

McDowell/Van Leer Land The photo captures a sunlit clearing in a forest, with tall trees casting long shadows across a grassy field. Some of the trees are bare, while others hold onto clusters of green needles. The sunlight filters through the branches, creating a warm, golden glow that contrasts with the cooler blue tones in the background, where more trees line the horizon. The ground is covered in a mix of grass and sparse foliage, giving a sense of early spring or late autumn.
