The Cumberland Nature Trail, St. Vincent

What began as a search for a rare parrot became a hike through tropical green, full of guavas, old friendships, and quiet epiphanies. On the Cumberland Trail in St. Vincent, the forest didn’t give me the perfect bird photo. It gave me something better.

A few photos of the former A93, Blairgowrie

Some people will leave strange things by the roadside...

Would quite like to go down that on a go-kart or bike perhaps ;)

I do like stumbling across a bit of old tarmac, former roads, thoughts of stories long gone by.

Today I discovered a whole n'other way of looking for them, comparing _ancient_ OS maps side-by-side.

@withaveeay No prizes for spotting the first place I went to check :)
