Drawn by the Light: a Lakeland Experience

Introduction
An introduction and maps to “ Drawn by the Light: a Lakeland Experience” are free to read and download, for your personal use only
I’m a nature writer and I take photographs so word and image are closely integrated in my work. There are hand-drawn maps for each of four sections: Derwent, Langdale, Ullswater and Kentdale. This is season-watch through a sequence of years, from 2000 to Christmas 2010, memorable for snow and waxwings. Weather-watching is at the core of a naturalist’s experience.
You may own copies of About Scout Scar and Cumbrian Contrasts, both in paperback.
Drawn by the Light appears only here on my website. In January 2018 I made the decision to present extracts: journal sequences with a chosen focus. I returned to my photographic archive to illustrate them afresh. The virtue of the digital world is that I may revisit locations and my own writing.
I like to hear from readers and there’s a contact page so you may tell me what you like. Editing and re-presenting parts of Drawn by the Light is work in progress. So you may influence choices I make along the way.
