The woods are illuminated from below. While most trees have lost their leaves and autumn colours have been underwhelming, there is still fine colouring to see in the woods.
The colours bring a new look to wooded parts where we expect to see dark shadows. They are almost lit from within. These wooded places bring hope and expectation of magical encounters.
What contrast with the depressing open areas that the supposed 'wildlife' trust is busy wrecking as in the previous post. But we can never relax with these people about. To say they have no love for genuinely natural places is only the beginning of it. All that counts is what is in their interest. They may even now be applying for grants to fund some woodland management scheme; we may then hear that these woods need thinning as they start to cut down the young trees and leaving torsos in piles as reminder of their power over nature. God, there's a lot to hate in conservationists. Time for open warfare methinks if that happens.
