One photograph, twelve frames

One year One Photograph

Locations have been visited once a month for a year. These twelve frames, one per month and then combined to create one final photograph per image, capture seasonal changes, changes in the weather, the light, and the locations themselves.

The aim of this project:

Encourage

Walking improves blood flow and helps your cardio efficiency. It can help maintain bone health and keep blood sugar levels balanced.

Stimulate

Studies have shown that time among trees can lower blood pressure and cortisol levels, and help with depression.

Care

With the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree, nature is under attack in the UK and parts of society care too little for the living world.

600 years old

Lineover Wood

Lineover means ‘lime bank’ in Anglo Saxon, dating the wood to over 1,000 years old with the wood first recorded around 800 AD as part of the Dowdeswell Estate.

Two-thirds of Lineover Wood is designated ancient woodland. Among the mix of oak, lime, ash, sycamore and silver birch trees are ancient beech trees; one of them is over 600 years old and is thought to be the third largest beech in England.
