I did walk across it Nouchet, but prefer it in the summer, when you can't see how high you are in amongst the green trees :) Thank you for your kind comment *******

A fascinating series of photos of this impressive looking aerial walkway...........it's easy to see how it got it's name.........it looks very sinuous as it makes its way around the treetops.

The main image is superb..........with the light reflecting off the railings making the curves really stand out against the darker background. Perfect in black and white.

I like both PiPs as well, with the walkway and trees standing out against the blue sky.

Very nicely captured Rosa!

Rosalyn Hilborne has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much Keith. The design won an award. I think there are a few wooden tree top walks in arboretums including Westonbirt, but this is the first of this design I have seen.

Many thanks for your kind comments on all three pictures. Always much appreciated.

That's a great P.O.V Rosa and I love the light on here too. I see from the PiPs that it is a most interesting structure but you have the best of it here. Well done.

Your main perspective gives a total impression of the undulations of a snake. You've chosen the right light to make it fascinating, really. When I saw your two nice PiPs, I reacted as you do: this vision is interesting in winter, but certainly more attractive - and less dizzying - in summer!

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition! So creative!!
Fantastic silver reflections too.
It reminded me of the 'Tiger and Turtle' www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/47303720 & www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/47266722
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a good week ahead, and stay safe!!
