Into the green zone

This time a print in the Fenland Skies series inspired by a strange green bias to the sky as dawn was breaking one morning earlier in January. No doubt the effect was caused by some atmospheric phenomenon, perhaps dust in the clear sky carried on the wind from Africa, I don’t know. We sometimes get dust arriving from the Sahara that is way up in the atmosphere but ends up all over the car and the washingbut that’s usually a sandy colour, it’s all very interesting though. One morning this week there was a brown tinge in the dawn light so you can take your choice or make your guess really. The subject in the print is the embankment of the Hundred Foot Drain and the line of trees at the side of the road that runs parallel to the bank and the drain. As always there is always a rogue hawthorn or blackthorn clinging to life in a really exposed position on the top of the embankment where it gets regularly battered and hammered by the winds and frosts all winter long. Now it’s hree to go to complete the set but I’ve got more ideas that!
