My friend Tom and I went for a stroll in the West Woods of Ethie in Angus. Not a woodland I’d encountered before, but it was quite magical in some ways – quite conscious of lurching from one clearing to another, surrounded by the characteristic shapes of beech trees in their green and yellow-orange autumn plumage.
With its suffusion of green foliage and orange leaves, this woodland reminded me of the film _House of Flying Daggers_.

I don't think I've ever seen a bright purple mushroom / toadstool quite like this before.
Very dainty pale off-white fungi growing on the edge of a fallen tree branch
Lots of lines. Stripes. Angles. Trees doing what trees do. Leaves. Not much light. That sort of thing.

The West Woods of Ethie make for a pleasant stroll, even on a soggy autumn day. Most Beech, it lurches from clearing to clearing...
