The Lairig Ghru

Maldon from the promenade

Loch Avon

Some prints that I've just added to my etsy shop. Two are of the Cairngorms . Loch Avon is remote loch in the central Cairngorms with the Shelter Stone at one end (once reputed to have been large enough to shelter 40 brigands).
The Lairig Ghru is one of the main passes through the Cairngorms and an old drove route. This view is from the south in high summer.
The other print is completely different a picture of the Essex town where I grew up. It shows St Mary's church and  sailing barges moored on the hythe quay- a view that will have hardly changed in centuries . Sadly other parts of the town haven't fared as well with new roads , sprawling  housing estates, and superstores springing up everywhere. I love the old Essex with its ancient churches, quaint country pubs, marshes, fields and hedgerows but every time I go south it has retreated before the onslaught of modernity. Such is progress!
