Defiance - The iconic dawn view past the lone birch tree and down the length of Buttermere.

I am magnetically drawn to Buttermere; its beauty, peace and solitude all strike an accord with me. It was Buttermere I turned to as my first location to visit following the lifting of lockdown restrictions in spring.

Craving the sharp dawn air on my senses and the peace and tranquillity of soaking up nature at its best, this was a location I’d dearly missed for so long. This shot was from the very first set I took after the extended absence from the field.

The little birch still stands proud in a mark of defiance of its environment and continues to hang on despite all the odds, as progressive seasons take their toll on its ever dwindling branches. A defiance and survival against the challenges thrown at it which, in part, I see echoed in some of the challenges we too find in our world around us at present.
