Artwork description:

An abstract impressionistic fine art photograph, inspired by the rugged mountain of Coigach on the west coast of the Scottish highlands surrounded by rugged wild heather moorland, interspersed by lochs. In the distance can be seen Coigach rising up above the horizon with the vast distance of the autumn coloured heather moorland and a small blue loch in the foreground.

This is part of my Bunker series, created from photographing details of WW2 defence concrete bunkers and gun emplacements from around Britain's coast.
These abstract landscapes are created naturally over time from the weathering and aging of the concrete and rust from bolts and nails embedded in the walls.

In this series I have tried to show that even simple, neglected, often over looked, mundane and in this case ugly and terrible places have beauty hidden within them.
These photos have not been manipulated in any way apart from light photo editing (cropping and exposure adjustment) and as such can be seen in situ around Britain's coastline.
