A drive up Glenshee today (to the cafe and gift shop so I could get goat burgers), led us to venturing across the moors to Pitlochry. Approaching a celtic cross on that road reminded me of the time I was chased by an angry sheep when I had a nosey at the cross....oh the memories. 😂

It has been years since I have been in Pitlochry for a wander about. A lovely walk along the river to the dam and lunch in the visitor centre.

Heading back to the car, we went via the train station and discovered the amazing Pitlochry Station Bookshop. On getting home, I looked at their website. The bookshop is actually within the station in the old shop and station masters office. Scotrail allow them to use the space rent free, so they only have to pay for insurance and electricity. Since the shop opened, they have raised almost half a million pounds for 6 charities that they support. The bookshop is an absolute gem and one I will definitely visit again.

Another toot will follow about the other adventures today.

Photo of the hydro dam at Pitlochry with tree covered hills in the background. The photo has been taken on near the edge of the river below the dam. On the left is the large stone building with white framed windows, on the right is a stone bridge that goes across the dam, below the bridge is the large metal top of the dam with stone slopes below it. A small trickle of water is going down the dam to the river below.
Photo of the Port-na-Craig suspension bridge over the river Tummel. The bridge is a green metal pedestrian bridge. The river is fairly still with stones on the nearside bank along with a few young trees and grass.
Photo of a painted coo statue, the coo is painted green with a large salmon on the side of it.
Photo of a bookmark sitting on my messy desk. The paper bookmark is white and has a drawing of Pitlochry Station bookshop on it.

Been playing with the images I got from the 360 camera, so am going to extend this thread with some slightly more abstract images from the forest.

I maintain that dangling colourful slinkies above peoples' heads is the best use of them I've encountered; the only one that stops them getting all tangled up & an interesting photographic opportunity too.

Bottom right is my fave though.

A starburst of bright coloured spirals pointing out from the centre. The background is predominantly black, with blue tinges at the bottom. The spirals are illuminated in blue, pink, green & yellow.
A burst of bright green lines shooting out from a central point. The background is black, with some hints of the illuminated trees beyond. It is taken from within a patch of illuminated strips hanging down from a frame.
An atmospheric orange image, lighter in the left, darker to the right. There is a circle of ground in the centre then trees point outwards all around. The trunks are dark but the leaves are brighter. Across the centre ground are strings of light weaving through the trees. There is a dark shadow on the floor in the centre; that is mine!
A ring of brightly illuminated trees in blues and pinks shooting out from a dark centre point.

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)

A dark night. In the distance you can see a few tall trees, illuminated in red, pink, blue & green. In the foreground an illuminated sign reading THE ENCHANTED FOREST with their tree logo to the left of it.
A dark night. There are tall tree filling the frame, lit up in shades of blue and green. Hanging down are illuminated jellyfish in pink, blue, purple and orange, tendrils dangling low.
A bridge across a narrow part of a loch. There are trees on the far side, lit up in red. The wooden bridge is covered in bubbles, lit up different colours. There are dots of light scattered over it.
A woodland slope, lit up with snaking red lights on the ground, and trees illuminated from below with red lights and bursts of illuminated smoke. You can see the silhouettes of visitors to the event walking on the path alongside the woodland.

Went for a walk round the river by Pitlochry Dam last week. It was just after a week long rainfall, and the waters were big and noisy and very impressive. Have been there many times, but I don't think I'd seen the river so turbulent before.The noise was incredible as you walked over the dam. Lots of people transfixed by it all.
