I went back up to Camperdown. What a difference a day makes. I threw the drone up to get a shot of the linden tree captured in a pool of sunlight. I almost managed it. The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles west of central Edinburgh. Completed in 1890, it is considered as a symbol of Scotland, and is a Unesco World Heritage Site. The final shot from yesterday's quick trip to a very misty Camperdown Park. I love mist, am partial to trees and enjoy the peace and quiet ahead of a busy day at the keyboard. It's good for the soul. Oaks are such beautiful trees - both when in full leaf and when bare in winter. I tried to frame this to get the linden (at least I think that is what it is) under the oak's canopy, with the mist adding the separation. This is straight from the camera, with no tweaking in Lightroom or Photoshop Up early as usual to write up my brief about political and economic events in Portugal. Once done, I looked out the window and saw that a heavy haar had settled over the city. Bearing in mind I will be chained to a computer for most of the rest of the day, I decided to grab my camera and make a break for it... even if only for 30 minutes. #bluebells #woodlandflowers #woodland #nature #spring #flower #forest #trees #baldovan #baldovanwoods #angus #dundee #scotland Baldovan Woods You can't have enough bluebells in your life An overhead selfie
