Always in search of sunlight.

'We cross dark woods always in search of sunlight.'

Dominic Cooper


I took myself up into the Lammermuirs today. Sometimes when you go there it's bright and clear when everything else below is still shrouded in mist. Today though it was almost impossible to see more than a few feet ahead of me. I deliberately headed for this small area of woodland, because whatever the weather it has a magical quality. Perhaps it's something to do with the light having to filter through the canopy or the absolute absence of any man made sound. It feels so still there, so out of reach.
