Golden age: a short walk in Arcadia

Photographs made on a walk through Elswout’s 19th century landscape modelled after Humphrey Repton’s Red Books.

This originally 18th century landscape parkland style was inspired by classical literary sources like Theocritus and Virgil.

With my mobility increasingly restricted Elswout is fortunately on my doorstep and still accessible. Colour images are about colour; black and white, which I prefer, about light and form.
