I took this picture on a walk in Ben Lora Forest in February specifically for a competition entry. The competition is a new monthy one run by the Scottish Rural Gateway under the theme "Living in Rural Scotland". I wanted to get the feeling of a cold, winter walk and decided to show the bare tree branches in an almost monochrome scene, with the scarf providing the one bit of colour.

For what its worth I didn't win but got displayed in the gallery of the best entries. The winning photo shows the guizers lighting their torches at the annual Up-Helly-Aa festival at Lerwick in Shetland and is a worthy winner. Have a look and submit an entry to the next contest if you can.
