The mist has not yet burned off in Woodingdean, so my run around the Snake was devoid of views, though my way was brightened by the gorse bushes, enthusiastic against the grey, blurred morning. I love gorse, as long as it doesn’t crowd the trail; it seems to bloom in spite of everything, never afraid to add gaiety while neighbours are still cowed by winter. A lovely 5km with 117m EG (woo!) #running #SouthDowns

Doing a little bit of tweaking from the first print of Plumpton Ridge. The source images are from December, but it takes a while to come together! #southdowns #expressionistphotography #icmphotography #layeredphotography
