ABSTRACT
There is so much more to the landscape, when you take time to look closely, and another world appears.
The Quarryman
Heavy rain forced an exploration of Cathedral Quarry, one of those rare places where the rain can't get in! I decided to spend time exploring, looking for patterns and colours, and that's when I saw his face.
Autumn to Winter, Little Langdale
It's funny how you can spend hours looking for the perfect location, and then when you return after a sunrise session for your breakfast, there it is, right outside the window of your holiday cottage. This lonely birch tree seems insignificant most of the time, but was caught unsheltered by the first frosts of autumn, while the sheltered beeches in the wood behind remained untouched. To me it tells the story of the transition from autumn to winter.
Golden Larch, Hodge Close
Tucked away deep in Hodge Close Quarry, this larch basks in some rare winter sunlight, framed by the arch of the quarry tunnel.
Three Trees and a Barn, Wensleydale
Aysgarth Falls in Winter
Forest Fire, Uddens Plantation
Autumn in Dorset, and the gaps between the trees looked like flames.
Kilmington Woods
The beautiful ethereal Kilmington woods, only weeks before these trees were felled, and the habitat lost forever.
Jewelled Grass, Little Langdale

Slate
In Mid Wales, by the slate quarries of Abergynolwyn, farmers used thin offcuts of lsat rot make the fences, a unique and striking material I have never seen anywhere else.

Frozen reeds, River Brathay
I loved the contrast between the dark water, and white frozen reeds.
