Scots pine. The resilience of trees always impresses - it's a key life skill when 'moving away' is not a life strategy. #ThickTrunkTuesday

An old Scots pine shows tangled trunks where one branch has fallen away. It stands against a backdrop of autumn trees.

Looking north from Ben Ledi, above an inversion at sunset. About this time of year, a few years ago. #Scotland #MountainMonday

Mountain summits at sunset poke through the clouds, with the cloud pouring like a waterfall over a low ridge in the centre.

Sunrise this morning on Ben Cleuch, Clackmannanshire, #Scotland. Only a hill really, but a predawn start and some snow brings a mountain feel.

Survivor. This solitary Scots pine on the hillside shows how much many upland areas in the British Isles have been depleted - and what they could be again.

A very Scottish winter view for #MountainMonday. Looking out from 'the Window' (a narrow pass between summits) at Creag Meagaidh in late winter / early spring a few years ago.
