Hellooo!
Something of a broken biscuit assortment from a few different trips as part of my work for the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust photographing pretty things in Wiltshire ...
Revisiting the River Avon near Amesbury - to find it a bit frozen - near the edges amongst the plants, and walking on it:

All of this philosophical musing made me come back to this photograph taken perhaps a month or two earlier at Green Lane Wood, slightly bored of photographing chainsaw training, I wanted to photographically allude to the question "If a tree falls in a wood and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" and at least my bosses found it amusing, sort of:

There are quite literally "some" more at my website
