📷 PHOTO OF THE WEEK 📷

The Photo of the Week this week is titled "Misty Mysterious Woodland " and was submitted by Ian Sanderson.

Ian says the image was "taken in October 2023 during a misty morning walk through Brusselton Woods".

The mist creates an ambiance straight from a fantasy land.

Thank you to Ian for sharing this unique capture!
