Forests have an ancient and mysterious charm that keeps us all coming back, whether we're photographers looking for the perfect shot or just travelers and weekenders. An expansive, natural and healthy forest is like a cathedral erected to the glory of nature, which is probably why we find these photos to be so stunning.
Luckily for those of us stuck in the city, talented photographers flock to forests' shaded canopies to take stunning photos like these. Kilian Schönberger and Guillermo Caballa are just a couple of talented photographers who find the forests of their countries to be endless wells of inspiration.
If you or someone you know of has some amazing photos of mysterious forests that belong in this list, please add those photos to this list! Vote for your favorites, too!

In the shapes of the leaves, in less than a second, on the right side in the middle my granddaughter spotted the shape of a leopard.

I also see the shape of a bird in a nest in the leaves in the middle upper portion of the pic.

Exactly. The blue colouring has clearly been added to this one. Some of the other images on this page also look far too vivid to be untouched photo's.

Looks more like a scene from Little Red Riding Hood. And if you look in the center and right, you'll see three pairs of eerie blue eyes...

True. It looks exactly like a scene from LRRH. Guess that's what they are portraying it as with that basket on the ground.

Looks more like some in dismayed. Returning after a local tragic event, such as war or fire consuming the entire forest.
SharonleeGoodhand 10 years ago
If I wandered in any one of those beautifully ethereal forests I'd never want to leave. Pity there was no photo of the stunning Daintree
MargaretDelgatty 10 years ago
Very temporate region-centric, and still they didn't manage to include a single one in Canada or the US...
SharonleeGoodhand 10 years ago
Or Australia. We're not all desert lol. The Daintree Rainforest for example. One of my favorite areas of my home state.

If Disney taught me anything, it's that if you want to meet the love of your life, you need to hang out in the woods.
