Northumbrian Heartland

Few places in Britain can be looked upon as a true wilderness. I find the remoteness of Northumberland inspires an awesome feeling and stimulates the imagination. But the semi wilds of the bleak moors of Cheviot and Coquetdale is like no other place. On some occasions, it's possible to walk the lonely fells without seeing a human figure. Only hardy shepherds and dedicated farmers grind a living with dog and stick, in this hill country. A wilderness for me, has got to be remote, with carpets of wild moorlands, dancing waters of hill and streams, where dippers, grey wagtails and summer visitors like the sandpipers chase the insect life of the tumbling rivers. To interpret the changing moods of Northumberland, you need to be strong willed, and independently minded. But what makes my inner most feeling blossom, is this definite remoteness, and sharing with nature that brief moment in time when recording images of its lonely landscape. |
