| - | The photographs contained in these galleries are a simple celebration of the beauty around us where we live! In many ways they are my reaction against what I see as an ever increasing dominance of images from exotic locations abroad that erodes our simple appreciation of local beauty and relegates the things that we should be cherishing and seeing throughout the seasons to something less than. | + | The photographs contained in these galleries are a simple celebration of the beauty around us where we live!

| There are no Paris skylines or backlit Ayres Rock photos in here! I am interested in things that are accessible on a daily basis. Working with these accessible subjects I strive to capture the ephemeral, the fleeting glance and that all important, often unintentional aesthetic within the natural/built environment and how sunlight interacts with it. The dominant image type within the portfolio is trees. I love their random yet planned forms occupying a geography all of their own as they lay claim to light and space. | There are no Paris skylines or backlit Ayres Rock photos in here!

| - | //Roaring Tree is based in Belper, Derbyshire right in the middle of England. Alan Withington has had a lifelong love of photography. This stems from the dark days of using 110/other format film cameras as a teenager and slowly progressing to good quality 35mm SLR's. The painful wrench of changing from 35mm to digital SLR photography was made in the last decade. A working life within the environmental/conservation sector has taught me 'to see' and given inspiration for so much of the photographic art and the impetus to develop the unique framing service using reclaimed wood.// | + | //Roaring Tree is based in Belper, Derbyshire right in the middle of England.
