Bright Sun in Forest

When one thinks of forests, it brings to mind dense trees and very little sunshine falling through the thicket. Some small portions of the forest although don’t obey this rule. I was struck but how diverse in colour, given the opportunity of course, a simple wooded area could be. A very cold period in northern Italy strips the trees of their foliage, leaving the few evergreen exceptions to flaunt themselves, proudly in the bright sun. A rare occasion.
