Venkatesh Kittur, A mysterious place (PLACES 2024)

It was mystifying and dark in the woods with patches of sunlight falling here and there. There were lots of fallen twigs on the bulges of roots making them look like monster feet. It gave me that creepy feeling that something must be lurking around me, watching me. I added a bit of ICM, perhaps out of fright, naturally shaking. I hope I have captured the picture in a way that it depicts what I saw and felt.
