Description
This is the monochrome version in black and white tones with notes taken from my original full colour version on here:
Situated between the Strath Spey Valley known as The Dell and the Cairngorm mountains I visited this part of the large Abernethy forest along the Caledonian Pine trees on a blissfully sunny day in May, a lovely shot of the pathway through these trees; those that are interested I picked up these notes from the forestry commission:
One of the largest areas of native pinewood in Britain, Abernethy Forest represents part of a once continuous tract of woodland around the lower slopes of the Cairngorms. It is part of the eastern group of pinewood types which includes Glen Tanar, Rothiemurchus and Ballochbuie. Many plants and animals that are found only in the native pinewoods occur here and as such the site is of considerable national importance.
Parts of Abernethy consist of almost completely undisturbed high forest but much of the northern area is semi-natural, some having been planted since the mid- eighteenth century. The forest retains a high degree of naturalness and a good structural diversity in terms of varying age, height and form of trees and in the presence of a shrub layer of juniper and areas of bog woodland. Certain sections of the wood are partly or completely dominated by native broadleaf tree species, especially birch.
