Each October, when we can, we visit The Enchanted Forest. It's a glorious show of light & sound in Faskally Woods near Pitlochry. We follow the footpath around Loch Dunmore & oooh & aaah at the loveliness.
& because I'm me I tend to take a few photos.
& because I'm me I post them here & shout LOOK AT THE PRETTY SPARKLY TREES & LOCH at all you lovely people.
So. Brace yourselves. This thread might take a while, but LOOK AT THE PRETTY SPARKLY TREES & LOCH!

Attached: 4 images A few days ago I posted a very fine illuminated tree, with a promise of a thread to come, mainly because I can't resist photos of bright, shiny things. So, here's a wee selection from this years Enchanted Forest at Faskally Woods in Pitlochry. I go to walk & look & be with family, so the photographs are secondary & not always as sharp as one would like, but I think they're quite fun anyhow. 1 of 3 (I think) #EnchantedForest #photography #woodland #lights #trees #nature #Scotland #Pitlochry
Right at the beginning of the walk is the 'living networks' mini maze - a simple hall of mirrors but MORE... So squiggly! So colourful! So interesting to photograph with the 360 camera!
If you're interested in such things the bottom two pics (the 360 ones) are different projections of the same photo.

Alongside the lighting of the formidable trees there are projections onto the rocky walls in the forest too. Swirly!

And I must pause this thread for today, but as I leave I give you an AWESOME BEE!
I should really have saved it, as there is more bee stuff to come, but it involves some video editing & I am impatient because I LOVE THIS BEE

Evening all. Back to the thread of sparkly lights & big trees. Also bees. I told you there were more bees 😁
First big bee is part of the huge projected show on the loch, the others are in the distance behind the boathouse which was temporarily transformed into nectaropolis (the bee in the previous post lives there).

Part of the route is a short wooden bridge over a narrow part of Dunmore Loch, and it is always blinged up. This year was super swirly, & I liked it a lot, but not quite as much as last years when they turned it into a giant glitter ball bridge. I'm not sure they're going to be able to beat that one for me.
