Leaves part and offer a glimpse into a hidden part of the woods, off the meandering path that skirts them.

At first there are no signs of life, other than the muted calls of a few unseen birds, this peaceful refuge seems uninhabited. A few unhurried streams among the rocks tinkle. Shifting rays of green tinted light pierce the canopy, highlighting mossy stone and tangled roots.

As the eye adjusts to the half-light of the undergrowth, details missed until now stand out. Patches of orange and red in the nook of a tree. Tiny, barely visible paths along the top of a rock. A world slowly reveals itself; minuscule villages and hamlets dot the sheltered landscape, hanging on to branches and hiding under pebbles.
