“The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood.” 

― Rebecca Solnit, Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics

January 2020 - Haworth, West Yorkshire moors, Northern England 

Last weekend my friend Jack and I decided to take advantage of the sunny (yet crispy cold) day to explore the little village of Haworth, in West Yorkshire, and follow the trail that led us to the Bronte waterfalls and eventually to Top Withens on the upland moors.

The scenery was dramatic: Flocks of grazing sheep dotted the hills and valleys and gazed at us whilst we were walking by. 

In these pictures I wanted to capture the other face of Northern England: opposite the once industrial cities and towns (yet now thriving with a cultural revival) is a rugged wind-swept rural landscape that inspired many artists and attracts nature-lovers from across the world.
