Maisie Irlam, Green Fairy Tale



I like how the strong vertical lines of the tree trunks dominate this picture and the way the muted colours emphasises the eerie atmosphere.

Sophie Lewis, Cow Field.

I like the composition of this print as it shows different aspects of the countryside.

Chantel Wynn, Nature at it's Best

Vikki Ellenbogen: "Life will find a way", Jurassic Park



These tree roots had forced their way out of the wall of a dug out pathway.
I love this photograph because to me, it says, no matter what the human input on the landscape, if left, nature will always take over.

ANGEL FIELD a recent project by BCA Landscape

A new renaissance garden

part of Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem Pied Beauty

The latest project to be finished as part of my work at BCA Landscape [www.bcalandscape.co.uk] is this contemporary renaissance garden. It was commissioned by Liverpool Hope University as an external space for their creative campus in Everton.

A narrative runs through the garden [see Villa Lante for precedent] beginning with the origins of man, through body and mind, to the soul. These images capture a partial overview and only a tiny glimpse of the detail.

If you want to visit it, you will find it here. It's only a short walk from Liverpool Lime Street train station.
