Woodland Glade

Another scene from the Brighouse Woods series that was taken on a misty February afternoon ten years ago.

 

Brighouse Woods 4

Wintertime in Brighouse Woods, and several dozen digital  snaps followed by several years of editing gestation, and we have a short series of images of winter in the woods of Dumfries and Galloway.

Brighouse Woods 3

If you go down to the woods today you’ll be sure of a big surprise….

No teddy bears picnic though, just the sweet smell of decaying timber, damp earth, and the sounds of the ocean coming through the wood that fringes Brighouse Bay.

 

Brighouse Woods 2

The woods at Brighouse Bay are a favourite place for a short walk with the dog and here is another example that was taken in February ten years ago.

 

Brighouse Woods 1

I have an autumn exhibition to prepare for and one range of images that are under consideration involve woodland and forest scenes, as well as trees in the landscape. Some of these will definitely appear as monochrome images, but in the meantime here is a Brighouse Bay woodland scene as shafts of light penetrate through the trees to illuminate an ancient dyke.

Brighouse Bay

The shore line can be a colourful place as this scene taken at Brighouse Bay shows.

 

Edge of Brighouse Bay

Brighouse Bay lies just west of Kirkcudbright on the south coast of Scotland and is seen here in its wintertime colours. The view is looking north.

 

Deciduous Dawn

Winter light in Brighouse Woods hints at all those sinister or haunted forest ideas that can get you running out of your childhood dreams.

 

The Woods at Brighouse Bay

A February view of the woods that line the west side of Brighouse Bay with a low winter sun barely penetrating the old woodland and bringing little warmth to encourage us towards spring. A spring that lies a good three months away in this corner of Scotland.
