A walk in the forest?


Yesterday I went for a walk in a closed down slate quarry near my house in north Wales. Whilst at school I made a series of panoramic photographs of a man made forest made in fields near the quarry. I decided to take my camera with me to photograph what might have changed there over the last three years whilst I have been at Manchester. To my surprise most of the trees have all been cut down. What used to be a beautiful piece of countryside has now become a industrial site with man made roads running through the forest and tree stumps every where. My intentions were to create similar panoramic photos again but after finding the state of the place I decided to take some still photographs to show the extent of the damage caused to the forest.
