"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
National Parks (UK and Republic of Ireland)
The UK has fifteen National Parks; ten in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland and we adore them all for their own unique beauty. From the water of the Lake District and the Broads to the mountains of the Cairngorms and Peak District and all the different landscapes between, all of the national parks are protected to ensure their beauty lives on for future generations to enjoy.
The Republic of Ireland has six national parks. The first park created in Ireland is Killarney found in Kerry county in 1932, and since then five more national parks have been created and the most recent ones being Ballycroy in Mayo county.

"Silvas Capitalis" - Kielder Forest -Northumberland
Kielder Water and Forest Park is home to a unique collection of art and architecture located at sites around the lake and within the forest. Silvas Capitalis (a play on the latin for "forest head") is a giant timber head created by American artist's collective SIMPARCH. The head has been conceived as a watcher, an imagined presence who has observed the passing occupation of the landscape over the past millennia and how the environment has dramatically changed during the last one hundred years with the coming of the forest and more recently the lake.
