April Squares: Mine Woods
From yesterday’s highest-we-have-ever-climbed post, it’s back down to earth today. However, I think this shot is proof that you can get great views, and still feel on top of the world, even though you aren’t high up yourself. This is a walk in January 2018 through Mine Woods above the pretty little spa town of Bridge of Allan in Stirlingshire. I’m looking out across the golf course to the snowy hilltops beyond, including Ben Ledi.

The lighting is beautiful in this photo, with the mix of some shadows and possibly a hazy sky. You remind me of two songs, Anabel. “I can see for miles and miles….” and “Those were the days my friend.” Thank you for transporting me this morning.🙂

I’m fond of this photograph. It wasn’t a spectacular walk, but the view was surprisingly extensive.

That’s very pretty. We went to the Highland Games at Bridge of Allan in August 1999. It was such a fun day and the weather was similar to your day.

It’s a nice town, and we always got a good lunch there before or after walking. Very important!

Great shot, and it made me feel as if I was there. We enjoyed the many small towns and villages in your part of the world. Lovely.

Yes, it’s low-key but there’s something very appealing about this view.

M. W. Not been there yet. B of A is nice though. Fairly upmarket compared to most of the towns in the sticks,.

It’s a pretty view. We’d actually set out to Dumyat but there had been a road I think and the road there was closed.

That really is a great vantage point. The waters and lands keep unfurling out into the distance.

Mine Woods? A bit of past industry there?

Copper mines originally, but not for about 200 years.
