These lovely trees bending over the path, creating a canopy of protection and life. A path to the magical underworld of the forest behind.

The angel oak. This mighty ancient oak. Gnarled and strong. The home for millions of creatures and plant life. The pillar of the forest.

The ancient trees that mark the place where Dunvullaig Fort in Craignish Scotland once stood. The mighty may fall but will always be re born. This wonderful tree re grew out of the humus and fungus of the forest floor that she had helped to form over hundreds of years. Made new roots and thick new tree trunks from her original branches, creating a mighty new generation of Phoenix trees.
