In Rough Standhills plantation near Whirlow Brook Hall, looking up a Scots Pine trunk with leaves of adjacent beeches crowding in on the shot. I liked the way the sun illuminated the leaves and gave them a translucent appearance.

This is in Rough Standhills plantation near Whirlow Brook Hall, It's mostly coniferous, but with patches and margins of mixed woodland with beech and sycamore mixed in with the pines. I just loved the dappled sunlight filtering down on to the rich, russet-brown woodland floor of last year's pine-needles. Best viewed large.
