Interesting light quite arty

They look a lot better in the air, that undercarriage oh dear.

Parking in the forest entrance could be difficult for the rest of the year!

Thanks for the comments, my photography pales in comparison to all the shots I see here. One day I'll get myself a new camera, but for now I'm stuck with a 1100D and a 300mm lens....
