More from the Lightscapes Set Poem: The Secret Place From: The Ice Cream Store. Toronto: Harper Collins Publishers, 1991. There’s a place I go, inside myself, / Where nobody else can be, / And none of my friends can tell it’s there— / Nobody knows but me. It’s hard to explain the way it feels, / Or even where I go. / It isn’t a place in time or space, / But once I’m there, I know. It’s tiny, it’s shiny, it can’t be seen, / But it’s big as the sky at night . . . / I try to explain and it hurts my brain, / But once I’m there, it’s right. There’s a place I know inside myself, / And it’s neither big nor small, / And whenever I go, it feels as though / I never left at all.
I was up with the sparrows fart this morning and managed to get some shots in my favourite local wood. Here is a selection of my favourites
These grand old giants are at Woodwalton Fen, home of the Great Fen Project in Cambridgeshire, England. Another of my shots of the Fen Fenland Shack To find out more about the Great Fen Project click here
A local bluebell wood (South Wingfield, Derbyshire, UK) – ortonised. Always makes for a pretty image.
Painted from an 1880’s photo, of the fishing port of Whitby on the North East coast of England. Here, laid up, is the collier brig, ‘Opal’. The ruins of the priory, immortalised by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, can be seen on the hill. My first pen and watercolour work. Watercolour washes over a pencil drawing, then finished in ink. Hannemuhle, 200lb paper 7”x 8”.
Northumberland, England. One of my favourite places to walk :)
The Aos Sidhe (pronounced “ess shee”), are a powerful, supernatural race comparable to the fairies or elves of other traditions. / They live in an invisible world that coexists with the world of humans. / The Gaelic Otherworld is seen as being closer at the times of dusk and dawn, therefore this is seen as a time special to the Aos Sidhe, as are some of the festivals such as Samhain and Midsummer. The Aos Sidhe are generally described as stunningly beautiful, though they can also be terrible and hideous. I cursed myself for walking too deep into the forest and missing seeing the sunset from the view point high on the hillside like i intended, but the evening rays brought colour to the forest like I wouldnt have imagined. / The forest is very much still in green, but the backlighting from the sunset has given such warmth to the leaves. As it was so late in the day, this is a 1 second exposure. other photos from the forests around my home / / Loki’s Forest
Painted from a very old photo (1857) of a collier brig. Taken from my wonderful book of North East sailing ships on the coast. / And the ship, background and quay, are painted from the fenland port of Wisbech, on the Lincolnshire coast. The rest of the painting is from my imagination. Watercolour on two rivers, hand-made 140lb paper. / 14” x 21”
For views like this is one of the reasons why I became interested in photography, i just wanted to share this beauty that lies around, I like this one a lot. / This was shot not far from the village Chipping in the forest of Bowland AONB, this was shot from the lower fells near Burnslack looking over the beautiful countryside of the county of Lancashire England. This scene was shot with a NIKON D70s and 18-70mm lens /

2nd January 2009 – what a stunningly beautiful day! We’d had the heaviest snowfall that London has seen in the past 18 years or so. All public transport was a total shambles and the city of London came to a grinding halt as folk could not get to into the city / to the office. Instead, people headed outdoors to enjoy the splendour of the day!! What a delight! Canon EOS 450D 18-55mm kit lens
Taken in Pownal, VT March 2009. This barn is a large art and crafts studio on the way from Williamstown MA to Bennington VT. The red bush and windows caught my eye. / Processed in Aperture 2. (c) Jeannette Sheehy 2009
Shot on my recent visit to the Lake district national park, this was shot on my up to the 3rd highest peak called Helvellyn which at about 950metres high is quite a hike up… / Shot with a Nikon D300 and 18-70mm lens. / One shot Raw file HDR… converted to 4 tiffs in Photoshop and then turned into a HDRI and tonemapped n Photomatix and further processing in Photoshop.. /
