Turton Tower is in Lancashire, England near to where I grew up. I had never really appreciated just how lush, varied and colourful was the English landscape until I began to make photographs. The price they have to pay over there is, of course, many more rainy days than here in Ontario. This past winter and spring the rain has been almost constant so you have to be lucky to get a good day, but when you do the colours are vibrant and the green – in many, many shades – looks almost painted.
A few shots below that I called my Turton Tower Collection. these were treated in post with Nik Color Efex to give them the high-key effect I was looking for. See them also on Fine Art America.
