We all have particular landscapes embedded into our memory from early childhood. The environment has such a huge impact on us that certain aspects of it never leave us. We all remember the landscape we grew up in and the places we went to for holidays as children. Most of us growing up in Australia would have had the experience of sleeping out under the stars in the outback or sitting around a fire on the beach and looking up into the endless space of the night sky with a sense of awe and wonder. What I’ve discovered is that we can have that same sense of awe and wonder when we take the time to look really closely at any landscape. I enjoy walking in the mist and rain and watching how the atmosphere and light changes the appearance and feel of the landscape. The weather patterns, ebb and flow of water, movement of clouds, time of day all give the landscape a very different mood.
