Trossachs in Autumn.
A view from the treetops: The Trossachs in Autumn.

The word wipfel is the German term for a tree-top. From the top of a tree we get a unique, often exhilirating, view of the forest below and the world around. This web page includes writings, photo galleries and other media that provide a broader perspective, not necessarily dedicated to silviculture.
