🍄 Voici le Mornille, petit fabricant de lanternes du village des Fongelins.
Tout l’automne, il façonne des lampes à partir de glands et de brindilles, pour que le village reste éclairé lorsque l’hiver recouvre la forêt.
On raconte que tant qu’une lanterne du Mornille brûle, aucun Fongelin ne se perd dans la neige. ✨🍄
Dispo sur ma boutique en ligne, en formats A6/A5/A4 !

Basque Country Guide Nov 18

Nestled in the Gorbeia Natural Park, Otzarreta Forest is in the border of Bizkaia and Araba, boasting enchanting twisted beech trees. Its unique look stems from traditional pollarding, a bygone method for collecting firewood and fodder.

Just a 40-minute drive from Bilbao, access is straightforward. The best time to visit is autumn, when the forest's vibrant leaves create a stunning display, but its charm persists all year.

The Language of Light and Leaf

Sometimes, beauty hides in the smallest and simplest things — like the way sunlight passes through a single leaf. During my walk in Surea, I noticed how the low morning sun lit the trees from behind, turning their leaves into glowing jewels of orange, yellow, and green. I raised my Canon 7D Mark II with the Sigma 100–400mm lens and focused on a single leaf, backlit by the warm sunlight.

But what you see here isn’t just colour — it’s chemistry in motion. When autumn arrives and the days grow shorter, trees start reclaiming the nutrients stored in chlorophyll — the pigment that gives leaves their green colour and fuels photosynthesis. As chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments emerge: carotenoids, responsible for yellows and oranges, and anthocyanins, which add red and purple tones. These pigments have been there all along — just hidden behind the green curtain of summer.

So, in a way, autumn is nature’s gentle way of revealing what’s always been there, waiting for the right light to be seen. Through my lens, it’s a reminder that endings can be beautiful too.
