From the left: Round Hill, Castle Hill, and Brightwell Barrow. The name Wittenham Clumps actually refers only to the wooded tops of Round Hill and Castle Hill (the latter an Iron Age hill fort with banks and ditches), and should more correctly be called the Sinodun Hills. Over 200,000 visitors a year enjoy climbing the hills with their spectacular views of what is an otherwise remarkably flat landscape.

Another autumn shot from my recent trip to Mount Lofty Botanics in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia.
I went towards the back on the park and up a steep hill to be rewarded by a small clump of trees with a beautiful variety of colours.
On the downside, there were two kangaroos sunning themselves on the grass in the background when I arrived - but they got camera shy and wandered off before I got my shot composed.
The trees that adorn Round Hill at Wittenham Clumps, South Oxfordshire, peek through the mist as the sky is turned golden by a fleeting sunrise. The mist was still rising and the trees and the sunrise were soon consumed as the world turned slowly grey!
The heather is in full bloom at present and providing a wonderful rich colour to the landscape and in particular to the mountainside landscape of Mount Leinster.
Had my eye on this clump of trees for a while now and finally went to get a photo of it. I think it'll look good with a sunrise behind it so that'll hopefully be my next visit.
Pyracantha coccinea, firethorn, fruit. I guess these are like tiny apples in structure, as this plant is a member of the rose family. Some of this fruit is further along in time and maturity.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
Along the north side of the British Army’s main train area on Salisbury Plain, only a 20 feet wide unpaved perimeter road (and a fence!) separate the ranges from some stunning scenery.
There are few places that capture the emptiness of the area than the lonely clumps of beech trees that pepper the landscape, some just a hundred metres from the boundary fence.
At Charlton, where I took these shots, there are 4 clumps of between 4 and 8 trees that make a cracking backdrop for sun sets and sun rises.
We were treated to quite a hoar-frost yesterday and it was great to have chance to head out and capture this magical spectacle. Hunton Clump made an ideal subject to show off the effects of the frost.
I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

The second inbound train of Saturday hits the CN and St. Charles diamonds at 16th Street Tower. Bro tags the "out the tower" shot from the open window on the south end of the aging structure -- I'm sure a companion pic will be forthcoming.
Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta sensu stricto. Bryophyta may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations.
National reserve in Wales
Coedydd Maentwrog, on the north side of the Vale of Ffestiniog, is the largest wood in the Vale. The national nature reserve consists of two separate sections: Coed Llyn Mair, and a group of three forests.
