Thank you for following and looking at my site. I am Darkwards (dark-woods), I'm a figure of darkness who goes to the woods and nature in the dead of night. I go during fog, snow, auroras, night sky events etc and take photos. The new moon and full moon are monthly rituals. The dark nature is a very powerful way to disconnect from all the light and noise of every-day life.
The mission
I am more than just a gallery of photos, I aim to capture the atmosphere of actually being there alone and immersed in nature at night. The dark woods is not just for horror movies and ghosts, it's a very powerful and calming place beyond what many imagine. The personal mission is to explore more dark places.
About this site
This site was launched in May 2025 as a very special celebration of reaching 1000 followers of darkness on Instagram. Every photo uploaded on this site, background or not, was taken by me. This site was coded by me using HTML and CSS, and I have learnt a lot of coding while creating this site. Use the buttons at the top to navigate to each section. This site will continue to grow with time, there are four other main sections:
Full moon blog: my mission for 2025 is to capture moonlight in nature for every month of the year, and upload at least one photo for each month. See how it's going here.
Darkwards code: a section written for fun that defines what darkwards means, and how to be darkwards with 7 codes that define the darkwards lifestyle.
Photo gallery: the main gallery section, contains over 30 of my favourite photos taken by me in nature while the sun is down.
More about: learn more about Darkwards, and explore darkness related topics in depth and darkness.
