Great Escarpment

Okay, yet another change of plan. No St. Peter's post as I had hoped, thanks to my USB stick suddenly getting lost to the wind. I usually brush most things off, but I find myself actually rather annoyed about this. I've lost a slightly larger slice of work in the past, but for some reason this one actually hurts. It would seem you can never have too many backup folders on the go. :(

Quaint View


Another study from the Conquistadores series. And although this is a Spanish fort built in South America, it could quite easily be some quaint picture postcard from England. Even the light matches the dusk of a late English summer.

DS+5



I was watching the 4 part BBC documentary, Conquistadores, by Michael Wood, about the conquest of the Americas, and from the begining was struck by the high standard of the photography. I've always loved Wood's series but hadn't watched any since rediscovering my interest in art, so to watch them again was hugely satisfying from a visual point of view. I managed to knock up a quick study of one of the shots, but couldn't do more as I was caught up in Michael's own enthusiastic dialogue.
