Honestly, best "Mortal Kombat" movie to be made. Love that scene and I came here to say this picture reminded me.of it.

It's commercial woodland. They're planted in rows as it's easiest for the machinery to deal with. The trees grow up as they have to compete for light as they're so close together, there's no point growing branches low down, as that wastes energy.

It's not particularly biodiverse, but it's often better than most of the other profitable uses for the land in an environmental sense.

It looks like a tree plantation or heavily managed forest where an area was cleared years ago and replanted with seedlings all of the same age, in rows. This patch of forest will be cut at some time in the future. The forest as a whole is made of many patches of different ages, scheduled to be cut at different times.

The trees have dropped their lower limbs as they grew probably because of competition for light.

A tree that grows taller and puts less energy into maintaining lower limbs will be more successful in such an environment. Foresters plant trees closely enough to cause such growth as it results in straight, tall trunks.

There is a park like look to the scene because of the lack of understory. This is most likely also because of an even lack of light. If there were some dead trees there would be small areas of sunlight with grasses, ferns, small bushes, etc.

The second reason is that the forest floor is covered with moss. This means the area is wet enough of the time to support moss and may not be appropriate for many other plants that you might find in similar light levels. The carpet of pine needles that probably falls may also prevent the growth of some low understory plants.

At least, that's my interpretation of the scene.

most of Germany's forests nowadays were artificially planted. From the middle ages onwards and especially during the industrial revolution a lot was chopped down, then also again during both world wars, basically most forest were used industrially. After WW2 there was a lot of reforesting done

Europe has very few primeval forest left, a lot of planting by people has been done over the centuries

Im dichten Fichtendickicht sind dicke Fichten wichtig, im dichten Fichtendickicht nicken dicke Fichten tüchtig.

In English: >!In the dense spruce thicket, thick spruces are important, in the dense spruce thicket, thick spruces nod proficiently.!<

And I would argue that it's against the rules of this sub because it's clearly man-made

I zoomed in looking for eyes. I couldn't find any. But right in the center there is something that I can't work out.. looks like a creature. Then I realised this is r/EarthPorn not r/Creepy

I live in the forest in Virginia.

If you go outside at night and shine a bright light, you’ll see hundreds of little green sparkles - the green color you see if you burn copper. I always thought these green sparkles were water droplets, dew, on the leaves on the forest floor.

One night I noticed that a particularly large sparkle seemed to move a little, so I bent down to see it closer.

I discovered that the green sparkles were the eyes of wolf spiders, these large but harmless spiders that are common around here.

I then realized that ALL of those hundreds of green sparkles were spiders’ eyes. Hundreds and hundreds of them.

And then that big one made a run at me.

I got back in the house real quick.

So, yeah: those woods in the picture are probably full of thousands of spiders, you just can’t see them in this photo.

When you cut through a knot while turning a log into lumber, the resulting mark is sometimes called an eye. I've never heard it applied to a live tree though.

No, Dark was filmed an hour away from Berlin - in NE. germany

The town portrayed in the show also doesn’t exist, there is no big influence of Northern or Bavarian Germany - this was done on purpose

Was gonna say reminded me of the show Dark....except it wasn't raining 😂

Might as well call it a lawn, they're both lifeless places.

This might be in the Black Forest, but neither this forest nor the Black Forest are ancient. Almost all the forests in Germany were cut down during the medieval ages up to the early 20th century. This is a tree plantation.
