'Tis the Season. Winter Walkway. #naturephotography #wintervibes #woodlandwalk #magicalforest #lightdisplay #treetopwalkway #nightphotography #outdoorexploration #enchantedforest #atmospheric #scenicview #winterlights #smartphonephotography #photography

A high-angle evening shot of a winding wooden treetop walkway snaking through a dense forest of bare, dark trees. The bridge is adorned with warm, glowing string lights along its railings. In the bottom right foreground, a bright, golden-yellow light display in the shape of a flying owl illuminates the ground. The background is shadowy with hints of blue and purple twilight, and a thin layer of frost or light snow covers the forest floor, creating a mystical and peaceful winter atmosphere.

A close-up photograph capturing a dense cluster of small, glossy brown mushrooms growing at the base of a textured tree trunk. The mushrooms have smooth, rounded caps and pale, cream-coloured stems, some overlapping in a crowded formation. The tree bark behind them is deeply grooved with shades of dark brown and grey, punctuated by patches of vibrant green moss. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the moist sheen on the mushroom caps and the rugged details of the forest floor.

Maybe a lovely book is more your speed? Something for the fantasy lover in your family or friend group. I have books about enchanted forests, witches and cheeky little monsters! This was my first Kickstarter project - 'Strangehollow', a vast enchanted forest! buff.ly/G5alCXt #enchantedforest #art

image of a book on a forest floor covered in leaves. The book's cover is green textures with orange eyes and the text says 'strangehollow'

an open book shows on the left a little creature sitting in a tree with glowing eyes, and on the right a sketch of the creature with useful information on what it is and how it behaves.

And that really is it now*

Thank you for joining me on this wee journey 😁

* I mean, I say that, but I will have no shame in extended this thread if I find something else

#EnchantedForest #Scotland #sillyScribbles

A photo of a pathway bathed in blue light from an illuminated structure made of curved bars overhead and down to the floor on the left. In the distance you can see the light fire from earlier in the thread, and some trees illuminated in bright red. A wee scribbled figure stands in the blue light holding a sign that says THE END, signifying the end of the thread rather than something more significant.

I did say *nearly* finished didn't I?

Bit annoyed I didn't get better video of this, but first & foremost we go to be there, not to record it, so occasional poor footage is the price we pay.

This was a really nice bit though. The path that runs alongside the loch had a series of big flowers overhead that were activated by movement so they opened & lit up as people passed by.

It was very lovely.

And we're back to lights and trees. I've nearly finished my 2025 collection now. Promise.

#EnchantedForest #Scotland

We interrupt this annual thread of lights & trees for our weekly scheduled nonsense of dancing... accompanied by lights & trees.

So hooray, it's Friday! Have a good Halloween weekend, if you possibly can 🎃

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.

A view down a wooden bridge. There is the silhouette of a person in the foreground, and the bridge is a wooden slatted tunnel, lit up in pinks and pale green.

A photo down the exterior of a wooden slatted bridge surrounded by tall trees. The bridge and trees are lit up in pink and pale green lights.

More lights! More trees! More loch!

#EnchantedForest #Scotland

A semi circle of projected pattern over a loch with a faint reflection in the water. The outer ring is deep blue with predominantly red and yellow detailed patterns in the smaller rings.

Projected lights over the loch, a huge bright swoosh of red, yellow and white reflected brightly in the lightly rippled loch water.

A shimmering green and pink aurora type light spread across the pathway, with a silhouette of some people on the left, and a tree trunk near the centre.

A platform with a group of silhouetted people with big trees either side, a slatted low fence behind them, and a deep purple glow in the forest beyond.

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).

#EnchantedForest #Scotland #bee

A huge light projection of a striped bee on a honeycomb semi circle, also reflected in the water of the loch.

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 :dancing_bee:

#EnchantedForest #Scotland #bee

A photo of a large model of a bee, made of wire netting, and brightly illuminated against a dark blue backdrop with a hint of trees.

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

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.

#EnchantedForest #Scotland #360degrees

Photo of the Living Networks maze form the 2025 Enchanted Forest, taken from outside the maze. Against a black backdrop are a series of tall panels decorated with circles, and vertical squiggly lines, lit up in a variety of colours, from bright pinks, to yellow, blues and greens. The panels are maybe a couple of metres tall, and there are openings where people can walk through.

Photo of the Living Networks maze from the 2025 Enchanted Forest, taken from outside the maze, but close up. The frame is filled with a series of tall panels decorated with circles, and vertical squiggly lines, lit up in a variety of colours, from bright pinks, to dark blue and greens, all appearing to overlap and merge.

Photo of the Living Networks maze from the 2025 Enchanted Forest, taken from the centre of the maze with a 360 degree camera, held high above the panels. The surround is black, with some illuminated trees, and the maze forms an almost circle of light, with a zigzag shape in the middle - the path running through it.

Photo of the Living Networks maze from the 2025 Enchanted Forest, taken from the centre with a 360 camera held high above the panels. The photo is shown in a slightly edited equirectangular projection, so the panels of coloured squiggles, circles and lights are spread our horizontally across the photo, with some illuminated trees behind.

I mean, look at how gorgeous this is!

A photo of the Synapse Grove at the 2025 Enchanted Forest. There is a dark slope with a root like set of lights covering it, and behind the silhouettes of tall tree trunks the leafy branches are highlighted in reds, pinks and purples.

#EnchantedForest #Scotland

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!
