Love birch pictures, they create such atmosphere and provide so many opportunities for illusion in the image.

In Lapland, there are quite a bit of birches, but not many places where it would be predominantly birch, so this is kind of a nice unique spot. There is a field opening behind the grove, and especially with the mist it creates this pretty cool effect of the grove just falling out into the white space

Excellent shot. We have like a dozen different types kicking around the state of Maine. I've got a massive grove of white birch, a couple small ones of river, some yellow/paper kicking around.

I've always got almost a zebra like effect from white birch groves, the bigger they are, the more disoriented it makes me. I love it, only time I've been lost in the woods was because of a huge grove of white birch. Like stepping into another dimension.
