Just adore that particularly caressing light you get at dusk on clear, frosty days - the way it lends the canopies of the holloways and the hedgerows a sepia touch. Winter's whisper in your ear.

Holloways are one of the great joys of the British countryside. You find them all over.
This is a famous one in Dorset

wow. learned a new word: "Holloways are ancient roads or lanes that have sunk below the surrounding ground due to erosion over the centuries. You can find them all over the Chilterns: narrow, atmospheric roads with vertical banks of earth on either side, canopied by trees." v @hookland.bsky.social

#Ancient routes in #WestDorset, incredibly connecting old-feeling landscape.

Down the Lane is an oil painting I did a couple of years ago . It is the path by our house. It was early morning and the sun was shining through the gap in the trees. Part of the #sunlight theme.

Kimoak and Kimwel #SlowWays . Oaklands to Kimpton to Welwyn Garden City. What a sunny day! Lovely varied paths over undulating countryside, through ancient woodlands, and along narrow holloways.

Today’s glimmer: I was researching holloways at work…pathways in England’s wilds worn over centuries of footfall into tunnels where the trees loom overhead. You can find strange plants like ancient ferns down there, and people carve green man faces into the sandstone walls. Photo: Sharon Cutler (1)

Wet woods & soggy holloways feel like the currency of my birthright.
