I went out in the rain to get this shot. It was Sunday and I needed a shot to enter for my DPL team.

So you are my first official reaction club comment. :)
First impression was, that's pretty! Seems like somewhere I'd like to be and somewhere I certainly would be inclined to take a photograph.
Looking at it further I think it's almost too much to take in and too much green. (Funny I just noticed people said not enough! But I mean area wise, not vibrancy as they did) The bridge seems like something I'd like to see more of, it looks really interesting.
Oh look! it's a fairy land. The troll is probably under the bridge and a lady on a white horse is comeing down the path, just around that corner to see why the giant left that pile of trees there. Magical.
Looking at this I feel exactly as I would if I were really standing there - stop a moment, have a look around, get my bearings and decide in which direction to go: cross the brook here, or go further along the bank to that bridge? The "busyness" is true to life.
