Blenheim Palace is a famous UNESCO World Heritage site, an exhibition space and a setting for many well known cinematic masterpieces. Not many people know that in the old days, Blenheim was a Royal Hunting Lodge for the Anglo-Saxon kings. Several years ago, it was found that some of the magnificent oak tress in Blenheim…

Stonehenge @EnglishHeritage by @Environment_Art
Stonehenge took several trips to explore. The sunset scenes required a VIP ticket, but the nighttime scenes were shot from a distance. The most iconic prehistoric site in Britain is actually a part of a much much larger complex, which also includes Avebury, Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow, Devil’s Den, Wayland’s Smithy and many…
DORSET @nationaltrust by @Environment_Art
Dorset coast never fails to amaze. The fascinating geological formations containing remnants of the world long gone are truly inspiring. This particular series was created on a very rainy afternoon in Harry Rocks. Exactly the type of weather to generate the unusual optical phenomena. After a turbulent rain, a ray of sunlight highlighted the water…
Devil’s Den by @Environment_Art
Britain is a real treasure-trove when it comes to prehistoric monuments. Devil’s Den is one example of this rich heritage. Forming part of the same mega complex with Avebury Stone Circle, Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow, Devil’s Den is a powerful site full of energy, which is difficult to find and even…
PUZZLE WOOD by @Environment_Art
Another series that is part of ARCADIA comes from Puzzle Wood, an ancient pre-Roman iron ore mine on the border between England and Wales. Tolkien is said to have drawn lots of inspiration from Puzzle Wood designing his Middle Earth. No wonder George Lucas decided to film the Star Wars here. On the technical note,…
WISTMANS WOOD by @Environment_Art
Wistmans Wood images form part of the ARCADIA project I started writing about in my previous posts. Wistmans Wood is an absolutely magical Site of Special Scientific Interest and the National Nature Reserve. Composed of ancient oaks, some of which reach 400 to 500 years old, this prehistoric forest is what is left from the…
KINGLEY VALE @WoodlandTrust by @Environment_Art
Another exciting project within the ARCADIA series has been a shoot at the Kingley Vale, a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It has been set up by Sir Arthur Tansley, the famous author of the term ‘ecosystem’. Kingley Vale is the site of the largest remaining yew tree forest in…
BURNHAM BEECHES by @Environment_Art
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…
