A mixed wood of deciduous and evergreen trees from Ano Hora (Aitoloakarnania, Greece). Here chestnuts, plane trees and oaks are found among denser groups of firs at ~1.000 m of altitude.

An appropriate accompanying text (which also gave me the idea for the title) is the lyrics of the famous song by Jethro Tull:

Songs from the wood
-----------------------------
Let me bring you songs from the wood:
to make you feel much better than you could know.
Dust you down from tip to toe.
Show you how the garden grows.
Hold you steady as you go.
Join the chorus if you can:
it'll make of you an honest man.
Let me bring you love from the field:
poppies red and roses filled with summer rain.
To heal the wound and still the pain
that threatens again and again
as you drag down every lover's lane.
Life's long celebration's here.
I'll toast you all in penny cheer.
Let me bring you all things refined:
galliards and lute songs served in chilling ale.
Greetings well met fellow, hail!
I am the wind to fill your sail.
I am the cross to take your nail:
A singer of these ageless times.
With kitchen prose and gutter rhymes.
Songs from the wood make you feel much better.
