A small record of walks

Pictures & field notes

Coldbrook Archive

Out for a walk.
A few things worth keeping.

Pictures from the same handful of paths, in different weather. A brook, a few fields, the hill beyond the wood. I come back more often than I mean to.

A narrow band of warm light crosses olive and ochre hills beneath soft heavy grey clouds.

Ashby Ridge

A gap in the weather

One bright strip between two showers. Enough to make the wet walk worth it.

A winding silver green brook reveals rounded stones between russet banks, with a dark wood in the distance.

Cold Brook

The shallows, again

The same bend, a little less water, a little more sky in it.

Tall golden seed heads stand before a mown ochre field, with olive hills under a milky summer sky.

Long Pasture

A field left standing

The grass at the field edge had gone the colour of weak tea.

Cream birch trunks with fresh olive leaves frame a rainy green hillside and a grey bright sky.

Birch Nook

Birches after rain

The bark was brighter than the sky. My sleeves were still wet.

A pale winding footpath leads through soft green hills towards a small stand of trees in spring light.

Bracken Fold

The long way home

A pale path through last year’s grass. I missed the turning on purpose.

Overlapping blue hills rise above a still valley filled with pale lavender mist before sunrise.

the north footpath

Blue before morning

Nothing much happening, which was what I had gone out for.

Nothing much happens here. That’s part of the appeal.
