Bleak

Winter can be a beautiful time of year, yet at the same time dark, depressing, crowded, lonely, frustrating; a time of reminiscing, hope, magic, contemplation and despair.

Many of my images explore these themes and emotions. My inspiration is often nature's elegant majesty, unforgiving harshness, silent serenity and more - aspects which are all the more evident during this hindmost season.

Nature can also provide the lesson that, no matter how bad things seem, life endures.
Nothing is forever, the wheel always turns, and what once was comes again.
