Assignment 5, First Thoughts.

This is a first attempt at Assignment 5.  I am aware that in his feedback from Assignment 4 my tutor suggested that there were still a lot of ideas in the mix.  The text remains the same but now it needs to be refined.  This is my starting point.  My tutor also suggested that I begin to separate the series and I have used the text to do this much as I did in the video I presented for Assignment 4.  I feel that I have too many images at the moment and will use this blog as a starting pont for editing them down by printing them rearranging and cutting some out.

Walking in Woods

Walking allows me to slow down and fully experience and appreciate the landscape through which I travel.  When walking in woodland, it is easy to lose and find oneself again, to reflect, meditate and to reconnect with the world.  Footpaths disappearing into the distance are seductive, perhaps holding memories of many passings over the years.  Woods can be places of mystery and paths often wind and twist, seeming to have no purpose except to be followed. 

The horizon is limited and paths disappear round corners or into a hole in the vegetation leaving the walker to speculate on where they might lead or who they might meet.

 Indefinite, ephemeral paths may be so faint as to be nearly not paths; what recent memories do these hold?

Some paths are not as they seem.  At first they may appear to be a path, but when followed they lead to where no human would go.
