Old Moss iii

Aided by it’s remoteness Ardnamurchan remains relatively unspoiled, a haven for wildlife and relatively unspoiled woodlands that line the road as it winds along Loch Sunart. Delving into the woods gives a glimpse of what life was possibly like before any people ever came by, old twisting oaks overgrown with lichen and moss shadowed over dense bushes of heather and bracken. A strong wind and occasional rain caused the trees and heather to sway as I ventured along the paths. Peering down soft green slopes the light barely touched the ground, just an eery green glow all round. Trying to find a composition that summed up the age and wild nature of this part of the world required a little careful ‘off-roading’ to achieve a satisfying result.
