How to Escape Quarantine: into the Enchanted Forest

Bathing Nymph by Carl Spitzweg, 1873 ca.

Keeping in line with yesterdays Poem Sunday, I wanted to share some images of some enchanting magical forests.

Places that you can imagine Titania and her army of fairies inhabiting, frolicking amongst bluebells and mossy hills.

As a way of escaping the norm [quarantine] I’ve been finding myself oogling at images of otherworldly forests captured in art.

Normally I love to spend copious amounts of time in nature, as it is singularly the most energising activity I can think of.

Though when in lockdown there’s only one thing to do, imagine. Using the power of visualisation and the help of some of these images, you can be transported to a magical place in just seconds.

Some images I couldn’t find credits for - if you happen to know who they’re by or are the artist yourself, please leave a comment <3
