The Walker by Braedene

Another of Frank Bruce’s sculptures in the Cairngorm National park – on a forest walk nr Loch Insch. It is called the Walker – looking at the statue…his right leg is to the front – his left leg has his arm and hand resting on it – - the third leg !! Well he carved the centre out so needed a support I’m assuming – Amazing height but all carved from a dead tree on site.
Red squirrel in the Cairngorms National Park by orchidcat

We’re so lucky to have these cheeky little creatures in the Scottish Highlands. Its always lovely to see them and fun to watch them run about the trees.
Impending by PigleT

I got 2008 off to a good start – the first weekend in January, took the funicular railway up Cairn Gorm to the `Ptarmigan’ centre. It was -5ºC outside with extra windchill – so cold I could only run out for 2mins and shoot things before hands got so frozen I couldn’t operate the shutter properly. This photo was taken looking into a blizzard with little flecks of snow/ice blowing hard into the lens (or my face, when camera wasn’t in the way). Ouch. / Nikon d200, sigma 24-70mm lens

This group is devoted to showcasing the incredible National Parks that we have in the UK. The aim of this group is to show the rest of the World just how beautiful and breathtaking the UK really is. Therefore, please only upload your very best work – the type of work that will leave an impression on others.

The UK’s 14 National Parks (+1 proposed) are split as follows:

a) England – Dartmoor, Exmoor, Lake District, New Forest, Northumberland, North York Moors, Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Broads which has equivalent status to a National Park. South Downs (on the south-east coast) is proposed to become a National Park.

b) Wales – Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire Coast and Snowdonia

c) Scotland – Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.
