On the first morning of meteorological spring in Oxfordshire, England, a low lying mist surrounded this small clump of trees that is rumoured to be an Iron Age burial mound. As the sun rose, warm golden light flooded the landscape, casting a strikingly long shadow through the mist and transforming the scene from my drones perspective.

Christopher aims to inspire and encourage others to discover the beauty close to home.
