The lakes.
It was first time back in the Lakes since shooting for Shivelight. This time around, it was a spontaneous couple of days getting re-acclimatised to the mountains and scrambling in preparation for bigger projects that are in the pipeline.
‘‘Most of us exist for most of the time in worlds which are humanly arranged, themed and controlled. One forgets that there are environments which do not respond to the flick of a switch or the twist of a dial, and which have their own rhythms and orders of existence. Mountains correct this amnesia. By speaking of greater forces than we can possibly invoke, and by confronting us with greater spans of time than we can possibly envisage, mountains refute our excessive trust in the man-made. They pose profound questions about our durability and the importance of our schemes. They induce, I suppose, a modesty in us.”
