Scots Pine Panorama

This selection of Scots Pine trees must be the most photographed Scots Pine in the UK! Right at the mouth of the River Otter, they provide a splendid finishing touch to the landscape. Underneath, you might also notice a piece of driftwood, which I’m sure has been there for years.

This image features Otter Head sat over the stoney beach, the iconic treeline, and part of the estuary. Taken just before the start of works on the Lower Otter Estuary Restoration Project, it’s unlikely this setting will look the same way for many years to come. A swan glides near the centre of the image, clearly pondering what the future may hold for the area.

The first visual pleasure in this trilogy is of course Budleigh’s iconic treeline, standing proudly over a small lagoon-like area which makes a fantastic natural swimming pool. On the right is part of Otter Head, patterned by timeless weathering and erosion from the waterway. Then finally, providing a lighter patch to the composition, are a myriad of Budleigh’s Triassic pebble stones, of varying patterns and sizes.

As a bonus, if you zoom in near the trees, you’ll notice several figures walking the South West Coast Path.
