On the first day of meterological springtime in Oxfordshire, England, this small clump of trees (allegedly this is an iron age burial mound) appeared to float during sunrise. The sky filled with pastel pinks, oranges and blues, creating a magical scene. A distant aeroplane subtly reminds us of our presence on this wonderful planet.

Biography

Christopher Harrison is a landscape photographer based near Henley-on-Thames in the South East of England. By day, he works in London's technology sector, but outside of work, he finds solitude capturing extraordinary scenes within familiar and lesser-known local landscapes. Utilising both camera and drone, Christopher thrives in the planning, patience, and creativity that is often required in chasing precise weather conditions and seasonal rhythms to craft compelling visual stories. Christopher aims to inspire and encourage others to discover the beauty close to home.
