Landscapes hold special meaning. Depending on where you are and what your lived experience is, landscapes can be where you play, work, grieve, or relax. They can welcome you, terrify you, excite you, intrigue you. Birds and birding have taken me to some incredible spaces - some full of grandeur, others interesting for their smallness or history. Here are some photos from along the way - page right or left through images below.
