Forests record time differently than other landscapes — the evidence is in the ring-count of trees and the depth of decades of leaf-fall, not in any visible inscription. A forgotten one adds a further layer: not just old, but past its place in any living person's memory. The trees are probably ancient, possibly larger than scale suggests they should be. Light arrives in long shafts or not at all. The mood is less frightening than heavy with time — the kind of image that rewards extended looking.
