A small multi-tiered waterfall found whilst exploring some temperate rainforest fragments on the west coast of Scotland in late May. The persistent rain made for perfect conditions.

This is just so beautiful on a horrible windy, wet day. I think 🤔 that this is a fine example of Atlantic temperate rainforest / Celtic rainforest?
The colours, shapes and shade are dramatic and artistic. Never mind full of wildlife.

The wonderful purple tones of young Birch (Fedwen) giving a flush of colour to the otherwise dormant winter tones of the sessile Oak (Derwen). A wonderful area around the Dwyryd, on the flanks of #Eryri and its #celticrainforest habitats (Coedwigoedd Glaw Celtaidd Cymru).

Mosses like this can hold up to twenty times their dry weight in water, maybe even on a scorching day when I took this! 🌲💚

A close-up smartphone photograph of two large tree trunks covered in thick, pillow-like green moss of a soft colour. The moss forms textured layers over the bark, glowing under the gentle, warm light filtering through the forest. The background shows a soft-focus woodland with bright green foliage and slender trees, creating a quiet, magical, and humid atmosphere.

A low-angle shot of a massive, ancient tree trunk rising up from a forest floor carpeted with brown autumn leaves. Thick, bright green moss completely blankets the tree's buttressed roots and bark, climbing up towards a dense, leafy green canopy. Light filters softly through the leaves above, illuminating the lush, damp woodland. The atmosphere is serene and timeless, capturing the quiet majesty of a damp Irish forest.

A lush, green Irish woodland scene captured in dappled sunlight. In the foreground, large, rounded boulders are heavily blanketed in thick, soft green moss. Slender, dark-barked trees with delicate green leaves rise from the forest floor, creating a dense canopy overhead. Sunlight filters through the branches, illuminating a bright green clearing in the background and highlighting the rich textures of the moss-covered rocks. The atmosphere is deeply peaceful, quiet, and ancient.

The Beauty of Rewilding: Ireland’s Atlantic Rainforest
This is an interesting documentary about my home country of Ireland. A bit of background information - almost all of Ireland's natural forests were cut down by the British. About 12% of the island of Ireland is currently forested, it was only 1% in the early 1900s. However, true native woodland only comprises 2%, and most of this is managed.
