[short_description] From directly above the forest canopy at Gysinge, the individual trees disappear - what remains is a continuous surface of deep summer green, textured and dense , with no ground visible and no sky for reference.

Shot straight down from altitude at the height of summer, the canopy closes into a solid mass of green with almost no breaks. The perspective removes all spatial cues - no horizon, no ground, no sense of how high or how deep - leaving only the texture and colour of the treetops as a flat, all-over surface. The result reads more like a textile than a landscape photograph. The dense, even green works particularly well in spaces that need something calm and organic - studies, bedrooms, reading rooms - where the image asks nothing of the viewer except to rest in it.
