Before nightfall

Already the days are getting markedly longer. Light is gaining the upper hand over darkness in planet earth’s dance with the seasons as I look at a photograph, which I made not three weeks ago standing on Roundway Hill.
The fading light of an early January day gives this photograph a certain delicacy as if you had to hold your breath for fear of disrupting the rhythm of nature. The gently sloping landscape in the foreground and the near absence of a horizon as a steadying force make the viewer’s gaze slightly uneasy.
