Ornamental Drive (Explore)
Last winter I headed into the New Forest and went to a spot I've been meaning to go to for a while, Ornamental Drive in Bolderwood near Blackwater Arboretum.
The road winds its way through a wonderful example of New Forest woodland, with Oaks, Beach and Ash clawing at the road. Being winter the ferns were bright reddish browns and the moss vibrant greens. I walked the road taking a number of pictures as there were just so many compositions, enhanced by the leading line of the road. Cyclists and New Forest visitors journey up the road to visit the deer park at the top, but the road is narrow enough to stop any fast driving or through traffic.
The sun was low on the horizon and there was a lot of cloud cover stopping any bright light contrasting against dark shadows. The perfect conditions for winter woodland photography. I hope you enjoy them as I'll be loading up a few over the next few weeks.
