Nocturnal World - Full of fear and wonder

A forest never sleeps. The bright colors that the day sprinkles, fill our vision with a heightened sense of aesthetics and lower some of the others. Simultaneously, bathed by moonlight, dramatically articulating its nocturnal spirit. With night faded things, come alive. Our desire to gather all memories fascinated by the beautiful offerings, that a forest allows us to collect. But what is a forest doing at night? The manifestation of nature around us is closed and silent. We are never alone in the forest, neither during the day nor at night. The forest is a world where time doesn't matter.
