The experimental process …
This experimental photographic image was taken of farmed pine trees in the Cairngorm National Park. Anthropogenic deforestation has lead to a huge decrease of native trees with the Scottish landscape. Following the retreat of the ice age, the flora and fauna was flourishing within the Highlands; inhabiting species included Salmon, Elk Wild Boar, Beavers …
