Westerly

Coal Clough

From a very windy day up on the moors - posted because I thought I'd continue my (initially unintentional) recent trend of pictures with pathways leading through them...

I was lucky enough to find a reasonably priced copy of Rocky Schenck's Photographs recently - someone first pointed out to me by Susan because we had both taken pictures of the same spot in New Mexico (mine titled No Picnic, and Schenck's Picnic). Anyway, it's a great book, which pushes photos to the point of being abstract and painterly - the reference points being artists like Hopper and Munch, and a few shots looking like lost frames from Eraserhead...

Love the image David....great mood to it. Reminds me of a wind farm in Crete that I keep meaning to post photos of...none with the atmosphere of this. Phil

oooooh, this is gorgeous. One of my favs of yours.
Glad you chased down Schenks book. It's one of my favorite photo books.
