wooded walk

More from Tollohill. These are from the same visit as the last and while at the woods then there were a couple things that surprised me. One was the colour. I have photographs from back in October of Johnston Gardens in Aberdeen and the maples trees there doing there show of full autumn splendour. Two weeks later and all the leaves had fallen and in November came the snow turned the world to white from the front door to as far as you could see.

That’s the frost that’s still about in strips even though the snow is staying away for the moment. So I was expecting the trees etc in the woods to be rather dull themselves, never minding the quality of light. However the floor of leaves did make strong paths of colour almost like autumn but with their red holding a more purple tint. I suppose it may also because the branches are stripped bare and because of the dank conditions that the moss and fungi really stood out.

The second thing that made me go ‘huh’ was to question what is it that governs the ability to take photographs of random dogs hurtling past on ‘walkies’ with their owners as opposed to trying to get portraits of your own mutts at home. I think I ended up muttering something about expectations, answering myself, and confusing anyone who overheard me. I can take 100 frames in 1 hour at home of one dozy dog and get 90 frames of head moves one inch, ear flicks and eyebrow lifts produced by shutter’s clicks. But no matter the result I get I’m likely to go ‘yay’ if a random passing dog just comes out as pretty much in focus, and I more easily pass it off it it doesn’t work out with an ‘oh well’.

Wood shuttering

Wood shuttering used and back-filled with concrete. It’s a beautiful blend of old techniques and modern almost brutal architecture. It makes the place "live"
