The landscape I’ve drawn is what I’d typically expect in the Lake district. It’s what I love, I can just imagine a day walking up one of those hills. I recognise this is a typically bucolic rendition of what landscape is. This exercise could have been a seascape or I did think about drawing one of the local nuclear power stations.
I think it was my love of walking that prompted me to buy a camera and in the beginning it was this kind of scene I had wanted to photograph. Whilst I still love this kind of landscape, my view has been broadened to appreciate industrial landscapes, not specifically in a negative way but representing human presence, evolution, history and sometimes how ‘nature’ adapts around us.
