Our monthly exhibition
Every month, we invite a member of the team to showcase a trio of their favourite images and to tell us what makes them special.
Sian Rossiter, one of our Graduate Landscape Architects, is responsible for this month’s Land Studio exhibition.
She said: “I love our exhibitions. I grew up in the Cheshire village of Wrenbury and I took the first three photographs there.
“I love watching wildlife, particularly bees. I’m fascinated by the fact that without them, we would have no apples at all! So every spring I get my camera out so I can snap the bees in action doing their thing amongst the blossom. I love the apple tree and bee picture because you can see the bees’ little pollen pantaloons!
“I often walk my dog in these fields and I always stop to look at this impressive oak tree and wonder how old it is. The image sums up what I love about the Cheshire countryside; expansive fields, hedgerows lined with cow parsley and of course the occasional majestic oak tree.
“Spring is my favourite time of year so I love spring flowers; particularly bluebells.
“The next three images were all taken in and around Anglesey where I go all the time for weekend breaks and holidays. It’s one of the big reasons why I love working at Land Studio as we have so many projects over there. “I’m a big ocean lover so I’m always taking pictures of the sea – the sheer vastness of it always helps to give me perspective on things.
“I love Cemlyn Bay situated on the wild north coast of Anglesey. The sound of the waves drawing up on the shingles was so lovely that I had to try and capture an image that communicated that feeling of being on the beach and hearing the sea.
“The picture at Penrhos Coastal Park in Holyhead looks out towards Anglesey. This image was all about the layers of the landscape and how they sat together in perfect unity, aided by the reflections in the water. I particularly loved the dark, glassy colours and tones of the scene that day too.
“For the picture taken at Porth Eilian, a small bay on the north-eastern tip of Anglesey, I loved the matching colours and tones of the sea and sky with the grass in the foreground and the cliffs in the background. It created a sense of tranquillity and wholeness.”
