Only the Rocks & Roots Remain

[sawman]

I went up to my old homeland in Glen Prosen today to take some pictures for a project I have long wanted to do.
The area is now just bare hill but once there had been quite a lot of people living there on the lower hill. Now all that remains are the rocks showing where their dwellings had been.
Further up the hill a Larch woodland once stood but was felled for the war effort. A few trees were left.Mostly its just roots that remain.

Thanks for sharing Sawman. Some beautiful colours in those shots. Made me feel a little sad thinking of what was and now is. Oh well time moves on and leaves us in it's wake!!
Good shots

Such an array of lovely colours for winter.
All good shots with info, thanks for sharing as we dont get scenery like that down here.

You're right there, Byrhtnoth,.... doesnt look much like Admiral's Park in Chelmsford does it!!!
