Description
Location: National Wallace Monument, viewed from Hermitage Wood above Stirling University, Scotland
________

I was in Hermitage wood with a friend, studying & photographing rock formations for an assignment. It was wet most of the day and just as we finished, the sun burst through the clouds, lighting up the campus and the monument as well as the great autumn colours. I always like shots with strong sunlight with a storm cloud in the background.

The Wallace monument lends itself naturally to photography. It has to be one of the most photogenic things in Scotland and I can see it from the window every day!

It was built to honour none other than William Wallace himself, who assembled an army on the very hill you see and he went on to win the battle of Stirling Bridge against the English.

The campus buildings are sprawled out between the Hermitage wood and Abbey Crag, on which the monument stands. Lots of lovely trees everywhere
