As we are in deep February and coming to the end of winter, going on a walk, connecting with nature, provides an opportunity to take a moment to pause, stop and observe the season. I love trees, observing their form, structure, colours and textures in winter and how they are part of the urban landscape.
Here are photographs of trees in an urban nature reserve, observing their details. Visiting the same place throughout the year provides opportunities to connect to the landscape that is both familiar and soothing and through photography provides an opportunity to document the season. Pausing to take in the atmosphere of the landscape, looking up. With the backdrop of the grey winter skies the structures of the trees are illuminated by the light.
