The pine is the dominant tree of my region present in most forested areas. The plantation has begun for many years and for economic reasons, especially for timber and resin used as raw material for diverse products. The pines are also dangerous, because they drop needle-shaped leaves covering the ground with a "carpet" of leaves (as seen in the photo), which are very flammable and one of the main reasons of fires in the region.
The dead pinetree is an icon and is in contrast with the warm autumn colors surrounding the Galgenven, a forest lake near my home.
Another shot from last weekends walk along Glen Affric.
I had previously visited this unnamed lochan with Steve (Stoates) but one day will make the effort to visit at the start or end of the day when the light is more favourable.
Just outside of town here there are so many lovely farms and fences on the farms. I love living here.
The cities are close enough when I want and it is just the right mix of everything here.
Happy Fence Friday
Gofafjellet is an hill just 50 meters away from our cottage at Gautestad, Evje, Norway. During our time up here in the highlands of Norway, I have been up here countless times with my coffee, camera gears and the dog. Enjoy sitting here en watch the sunrise, the colors, sounds of the birds and the peace, hided away from everything. The name "Gofafjellet" means on the local dialect - Grandfathers mountain.
