Pics from a trip up Lucklawhill yesterday

View along a forest path, with the path illuminated by the afternoon Autumn sunlight. Either side of the path, a dense undergrowth of grasses and ferns, flanked by a variety of deciduous trees.

View along an open woodland path, again illuminated by dappled Autumn sunlight. Undergrowth primarily made up of grasses, with a mix of pines and deciduous trees filling out the space.

Further along the previous path, where the canopy is a bit more open and the trees a bit more sparse. Thick grass and outcrops of ferns on the ground.

Close up of a spiky yellow flower (Ragwort, I believe) on a hillside field, lit by Autumn sunlight. The field falls away behind the flower, with views over the surrounding farmland and, in the top right, a tiny glimpse of the sea.

Finally got round to checking out UE5, and it is pretty cool having a modular synth just built into a game engine like this. I'm thinking that next year I might have to switch away from Unity for the audio programming module I teach.
