I used to walk my dog often in this wood. It was always a place I enjoyed exploring.

This old tree stands beside the ruins of the 16th Century Torwood Castle, in Scotland. Chestnut trees were commonly planted near buildings like this, back in the day, for food. One wonders how long it's been there. The tree is split at the trunk. but I passed it about a year ago and it still had some leaves.

This is a bracketed seven shot HDR that I took with my Olympus EP-1 around a dozen years ago. I used the open source QTPFSGUI to tonemap it and finished it in Gimp. After taking this picture I realised I was standing under a tree that had fallen and was being held up by just a few small branches above me. I learned to take more care in the woods that day...
