Another and the latest addition to the new series of prints of and about the West Norfolk Fenland with three to go to complete the series of eight. The big skies definitely rule and in truth although the landscape seems empty and cowed by the size of the skies here it seems to me that there a two views at any one time if you can be bothered to look just a little harder. There is as always the broad view but crop the panorama down in your mind and there’s a tighter more close up view to enjoy and I hope that this is what this series of prints are depicting. A small view of a big landscape if you like, the little details that are easy to miss. Anyway now it’s on to the next print which will have to be produced in tandem with a new book by being written by Robert Ashton that I am just starting to work on. The Book is called Down to Earth and all will be revealed later as I work into the illustrations.

I very much like the color of the sky in this one.
I’m curious about the title “lonely pole”. Certainly it looks all alone in the vast landscape. However, I’m wondering if this pole has a mate way down the road? Or is this pole truly alone in West Norfolk Fenland?

Good morning Linda,
Yes there are poles to the left and right but a good 250 yards away, maybe a little more. The poles lean all over the place in some areas, I’ve seen them at 45 degrees when I’ve been out fishing. You don’t want to be under those electricity cables in a high wind! Once again a pleasure to hear from you. All the best to you and yours, John
