Violet Dawn. North Pennines - Limited Edition of 10 Print

With the Lake District Fells to the West, the Pennines to the east and the Howgill Fells to the south, the beautiful Eden Valley is a peaceful oasis of lush green countryside This work is part of my Images of Eden series - location photography inspired by the ever-changing landscape of the part of Britain where I lived for many years – the Eden Valley in Cumbria. The collection is my attempt to convey the beauty of this landscape throughout the seasons and in ever changing light. From my house there were magnificent views across the verdant river valley to the high fells of the North Pennines – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As the seasons passed and the light and weather varied, the views and the colours were ever-changing and I set out to capture this in what has become my Images of Eden Collection. It was always a question of having a camera ready and just looking, waiting for the right moment – magical when it happens but it could evaporate before I could even get out of the house. I was particularly interested in the creative capture of sunrise and sunset on the fells and I would often get up in the early hours of the morning when the light was often at its best. Most of the work is a response to the ever-changing light and changing images of the natural world, often blurring the boundaries between the descriptive and the abstract.
