This is in Rough Standhills plantation near Whirlow Brook Hall. Most of the plantation is coniferous and quite dense, but with occasional clearings such as this with birch, oak, beech and sycamore. I tried to capture the wonderful quality of the November sunshine filtering down into the clearing.

Larches and holly in the upper Limb Valley between Whirlow and Ringinglow. The larches feathery branches imparted a beautiful golden quality to the November sunshine filtering down into the clearing, which I tried to capture. Best viewed large
