This is me, at Blawearie.

This is a gravestone at Old Bewick Chapel (Holy Trinity). I'm very interested in the imagery on the stone but have no idea what it means. Does anyone know? Please get in touch if you do....

'Braken'
The winter colour of the braken was amazing. It was glowing red and I tried to capture that.

'Gateway to Blawearie'

'Silver Birch Among the Rocks'

'Heather Moorland in Winter'

Winter at Blawearie

'Moon Pool'
Inspired by visiting Northumberland at the time of the Blue Moon, 30th December 2009. A Blue Moon is when there is a full moon twice in one month, something that happens very rarely.
These are alder trees around a pool.

'Fallen Tree, Blawearie' This is probably my favourite tree at Blawearie. When I visited in the winter of 2009 it was torn and lying on the ground. I felt a sense of loss. I painted this tree standing in 'Steps to the Trees' below...

'Starlight at Woodhenge'
I visited a site at Milfield, Northumberland called Maelmin, where there was a re-creation of an archaelogical site excavated nearby. They had found the post holes of a wood henge.
