Washed out

The waters continue to reshape the woodland floor, here on the interface of Great Huntley Bank and Brinken Wood, Highland Water has been flowing well outside its normal bounds. For many meters either side of the stream the woodland floor has been scraped clean by the torrents, exposing roots, creating new water courses and leaving temporary sculpted leaf forms. The new courses get more pronounced every season and eventually could alter the course of the stream, the leaf sculptures will not be long lived though, the next flash flood will see them gone to be replaced by new forms. The forest eternal is constantly in flux.
