THE often-unseen aspects of trees are depicted in a month-long photographic exhibition at a Highland gallery.
Award-winning Nairn photographer Morton Gillespie says it can often be difficult to see the wood for the trees because of a lack of imagination.
In his exhibition, The Magical World of Trees, at the Upstairs Gallery in Academy Street in Inverness, he explores aspects which might remain unseen by a passer-by.
“The variation of the beauty of trees never ceases to amaze me,” he said.
“I love to follow the seasons in a woodland covering, the graphic bare outline of winter, the lush greens of summer and the explosion of rustic golds in the autumn.”
It is showing as part of Flow Photofest Fringe, the biennial international photography festival held across the region.
Mr Gillespie grew up in Glasgow where his early photographic work was a documentary style.
His exhibition in the offices of HRI Munro Architecture can be seen until next Friday.
The festival runs at several venues in Inverness and also in Ullapool. Full details of the programme can be found here.
