During the turbulent pandemic years I managed to devote a considerable amount of time to photography working on a new series provisionally entitled ‘ARCADIA’. With obvious mythological annotations, it was an attempt to escape intro the wild natural setting and forget about the troubles of the real world.
We will start our visual journal with a series made in Burnham Beeches, a wonderful large beech forest on the outskirts of London. Here is a link to the full set of images on Flickr:

I would be most grateful for the thoughtful comments on the most interesting images and the discussions they will inspire.
The forest is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and houses rare earthworks dated from the late Bronze to the early Iron age. Did I mention that Harry Potter, The First Knight, Robin Hood and other movies were filmed there?
