Editors Note
Creating a digital publication from scratch has definitely had it’s trials. The endless revisions, the sleepless nights and of course the hundreds of emails, I’m finally done! I’m delighted to present the very first issue.
Welcome to Wildland.
This has taken me on a huge journey. Falling in love with places all around the world, meeting photographers and artists alike with the same passion. The aim of Wildland is to explore the natural connection we have with the wild. This can be anything from landscapes, forests and national parks, also camping in the rockys or even fishing, all of these things keep us connected with the wildland.
Our contributors and artists have really come together to give us their interpretation and I think they have done a fabulous job! I need to say a huge thanks to all of the artists and contributors for their enthusiasm, patience and of-course their awesome images. I would also like to thank the people following, liking, re-posting and supporting my blog. You guys are brilliant!
I really hope you enjoy this as much as I have creating it and I hope this will inspire you to grab your camera, wherever that may be and go and shoot, create, capture and freeze that moment.
Enjoy!

There is a seasonal lucidity adrift in the coastal islands of the Western Scottish highlands that often gets overlooked. Sometime around late Autumn the colours begin to change up there. They don’t drain, as would the colours from hedgerows of the southern counties, or the stretching fields of Suffolk farmland, but they deepen and fix. By winter you can be sure of a distinct pallet, infallible in its reoccurrence each year. The birch trees that line the roadside and woodland glades redden like bracken, exposed and brittle. Summer greens of the bog grass and hillside tussocks alike burn a deep yellow, shimmering white at the tips in the low, cold sunshine. Mountain stone shale adds tones of grey and purple, and dotted along the slopes are pockets of deep, dark green; stands of coniferous plantation where all but the larch hold firm their damp leaves. The sea beyond, the ever present anchor in the landscape, is a deep grey hue, sending across gale force winds and horizontal rain. When it’s almost too cold and when even the enormous highland cattle, with their heavy orange coats and fiercely protective armory, turn from the wind and shelter by aging stone walls; this, for me, is the time to see it. There’s no British terrain as wide, open and dramatic as this in winter; loomed over by a quiet and attractive desolation.
