I find myself drawn to both the natural world and the shadows and echoes left both on the land and in objects and tales by those that came before us. The people that made them are long gone, their culture and the world they inhabited lost with them. One finds only glimpses of that world and through eyes that are changed by knowledge, science and technology, yet somehow deep inside ourselves we still hear those echoes. The years of history are etched in the land like shadows. There is a world of magic still out there if we dare reach out.
There is so much beauty around us that passes unnoticed if we don't pause our busy lives and look. Nature has created so much for us to enjoy, from rocks and crystals, to sunsets and coastline, woods and rivers and the creatures that inhabit it, birds and animals and the fantastical beasts of our legends and myths.
