I First Thought Photoshopped,

from a fictitious film set,


 but these are real photographs taken in a real wood just before the “blue hour” or the hour before the sun rises in the morning,

 the location of this mystical forest is Wistman’s Wood in Dartmoor, Devon, England,

 British photographer Neil Burnell captures striking environments void of human subjects, often traveling to remote areas far outside of civilization, 

 His ongoing series Mystical takes a look at the fairytale-like atmosphere created by the thick fog, gnarled trees, and moss-covered stones,

 this particular wood has long been the subject of folklore and myth, with many writers describing it as the most haunted location in Dartmoor,

Burnell continues to travel to Wistman’s Wood to seek the right environmental factors for a perfect image, and taking photographs like these is not easy, in 20 or so visits the magical mist appeared only twice, You can see more of his photographs on Instagram, what stunning magical photographs.
