Killynether Country Park is situated outside Newtownards, on the slopes of Scrabo.  We walked through the wood on a sunny evening in May, just around an hour before sunset, looking for the strong low sunlight making paths through the leaves.

We weren’t alone either.  Lots of people were walking in the woods, and a group of runners were exercising on one of the grassy slopes.
