Scottish Landscapes
Skeletons of trees
The skeletal roots of pine trees felled to make way for the Hydro scheme of Loch Quoich in the 1950s. This is an eerie place; beautiful in its barren-ness but with a sad hint of past apocalypse. The weather-bleached ghostly stumps and roots signal the death and destruction that changed the character of the glen. The erosion at the margins of the loch also act as a signature to the recent and un-natural conversion of the glen to a reservoir to generate hydro-electric power.
Location: Loch Quoich, Scottish Highlands, Scotland, United Kingdom
