Forgotten remnants of our unnatural world

I'd been to this Forest before and taken photos but was never happy with any I had taken. It's so difficult to catch the right light in a forest. The darkness and atmosphere only comes into play when there is light also. Direct sunlight to pick out silhouettes and cast long shadows across the dells and clearings is what I love.



On this day I was blessed to have these wonderful conditions. Although cold it was beautifully sunny and this usually dense forest stripped of it's leaves bathed me in shafts of sunlight as I wandered, taking photo after photo after photo after photo....

This is from the quirky wee entry to the forest


The forest Backs onto MOD property and there is a perimeter fence that goes around the rear of the forest. I wonder how big the forest was before 'Her Majesty' commandeered the land, although this could be said for all the forest on our fair isle.

This clearing was thick with Rosebay Willowherb and was a magical place in the frost and shattered sunlight


There is virtually nothing left of the great woodlands that covered this country. Which is why these small pockets, wildlife havens and wondrous things to behold need to be looked after and enjoyed by all, before they become more forgotten remnants of our unnatural World.

I specifically looked for this spot and was very excited to delve into this wee dell again
