Bluebells & Beech
The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that the woods here have been identified by two different spellings. Castramont is the correct spelling…..at least that’s what is on the map, but the other spelling, that of Carstramon, is the name of the house at the northern edge of the wood. I have been challenged when selling prints of this area that I have made an error when using Castramont. In the end it is common usage that determines what places are called, despite what the map says.
Galloway has many forests though many of them are conifer plantations, so it’s a real joy to walk amongst these mature trees especially in Springtime when the flowers carpet the ground, and birdsong fills the air.

That has a wonderful whimsical feel to it.
Thanks Mike….a tree with a flourish…..and sorry for the late response,
regards, John.
Beautiful and calm place. Are there fairies dancing at night? 🙂
No, sorry, I’m afraid I don’t go at night….

I really like this image John, the trees give it great drama! It is interesting that though we were in the forest at the same time that you saw something different to me. So I would say to others not to be put off by other photographers beautiful images of scene that you would like to shoot, shoot it anyway because you will see it differently. Vive la difference!!
Hi Colin, and yes, we always find something different to photograph…..and in our own way…….the difference makes us…
Gorgeous image, John…would love to walk among the flowers, but would be fearful of causing them harm…so I’ll enjoy your photograph more completely instead.
True, there were no paths up here so we had to wade through the bluebells……but carefully!
Thanks Scott.
