Leafscapes

This autumn there has been a lot of colour variation in the leaves.

Trinity Saint David, Carmarthen

Trinity College, Carmarthen, originated as a small Victorian college; it has grown substantially over the last 150 years, with numerous new (generally undistinguished) buildings.  The site is oddly cluttereed because the buildings seem to have been placed without any thought to those already there.

Into the light

Negative space: the gaps between things

I like to see views as shapes, or areas of texture and colour, which fomr patterns in realtion to each other. Trees are particularly complex -they can be a bland undifferentiated block of colour, or frail fractals of individually-toned leaves. It's surprising to find how often the sky is obscured - you'd imagine it was always there.
