It's called The Dark Hedges. You see why The Games of Thrones used it extensively

Your photos are stunning! You captured the Dark Hedges perfectly. The shadows and especially the sky are shown beautifully.

Location
This a photo of the Dark Hedges in Co. Antrim N. Ireland. Due to the tangle of trees and moody atmosphere it was a favoured shooting location for The Game Of Thrones.Time
7:30amLighting
I arrive there early morning just after a rain storm passed and the sky was clearing. There were deep shadows crossing the road and the trees on the right were still dark.Equipment
This was shoot with a hand held Lumix FZ1000Inspiration
It has become such an iconic destination in that part of the world and I suspect has come to rival the Giants Causeway.Editing
I did enhance the colours somewhat but Ireland is green enough and does not need any help while the fallen leave were still deep orange. I darken the whole scene to enhance its mystic and I also added a touch of Orton Effect to add to the mysteryIn my camera bag
Lumix is a bridge camera so I don't carry lens and try to limit the contents of my bag to extra cards, extra battery, a rain sleeve, a lens cleaning cloth and a note pad.Feedback
Get up early. The morning is the most serene and inspirational part of the day.
