The “panorama” has been over sharpened to give a grainy feel to the image. As a kid I spend a huge amount of time near where this image was taken – and in some ways this less the perfect, altered, image seems to say something about the nature of childhood memory; often imperfect and over overlaid with layers that obscure the truth of the matter. It was (and still is) a place of dragon flies, of long hours fishing, of Roman ruins running along the contours of the hillside and older hill top barrows and broad and indistinct henge circles. As you may have guessed I miss the place.
The clouds are my concession to a real sky picture! They were taken in the early morning as the sun came out from behind a hill and for a while the sky was all colour.
You can find more sky images at SkyWatch Friday.
