It was a good day to die.  I was at peace.  I was taking in the beauty of my God’s creation, and tying to capture it in some way. 

I didn’t die, of course.  Thank heavens!  But I certainly was at peace and one with the landscape. 

This  is just outside a small village in Northumberland which is known for its gin production of all things!

You can see more from my UK Chronicles here, but be warned, I photographed everything in colour….

Just outside Hepple, Northumberland — the X100F and a good day in the hills. The X100F’s compact form is an advantage here; you can take it anywhere without the weight of commitment. Monochrome lets the gentle tonal gradation of the landscape breathe without the distraction of colour. See the UK Chronicles Part VI: Hepple to Otterburn on IJM Photography.
