Nature is a true artist
the sky a canvas
her palette unlimited
her brush so nimble
yet
so chaotic

As someone who works in the film/ television industry its great to see the work of all the extremely talented individuals who spend so much of their lives working – quietly – behind the scenes on films like Harry Potter. What a lovely tribute to them to essentially have a whole studio exhibition dedicated to the work they have done. And what such beautiful work it is as well.
Sculptures either side of the Great Hall’s main doors.
Great Hall main door. Oh the lovely detail..
False Perspective Corridor
Swinging Pendulum
Dumbledore’s Office – Such a beautiful set with great depth and levels.
Potions Classroom
Potions Classroom. All those labels. So time consuming, but wonderful.
Door to chamber of secrets. Loved the use of animatronics where possible (The snakes ‘slide’ on tracks)
Hagrid’s Hut. Wonderful dressing, so cluttered and ‘full’
Ministry of Magic sculpture. Great craftsmanship.
Ministry of Magic – the tiles being CNC cut sheets with a (6?) layer paint process.
Delore Umbridge’s office. Fantastic. Love the boldness of the set.
Great ageing and timber work details.
Such a simple thing – but great layers of textures on the wall.
The photo is straight, the sets a bit wonky.
Lovely detail inside each of the shops in Diagon Alley. Great dressing.
Again such detail and intricacy on these death eater’s masks.
Each shop having its own character.
Diagon Alley Shop fronts.
Model of Hogwarts Castle. Lovely to see a physical model instead of just CGI. This is just porn.
This is just porn #2
This is just porn #3 -
It stretches over
Touching gently; roots of its own -
A Mirror
lights reflected
the day fades -
Wandering
amidst this vastness
singular
Wondering -
No movement
but the blur of a boat -
Sometimes a photo can truly capture a memory and picture the scene as was.
A mornings walk and a battering of wind and rain along cliff tops saw us to this pub; a wonderful beacon – a respite against the weather. A chance to dry off in front of the fire with a plate of food and a couple of pints. -
Through the still waters
and this world of white -

The Stars fade.

A swirling torrent, like waves upon the sea.
06:12:02
The light starts to change; from night to day.
06:26:11
A momentary clarity; a land below.

The sun breaks the horizon
Pen Y Fan reveals herself

The mist continues its dance; the wind encouraging it to swirl and pivot over the peak, dropping down the other side.

The Sun. -
To sit and gaze
at our distant cosmos
such a wonderful feeling
such awe -
To create
A feeling
atmosphere
without knowing
–
the viewer
estranged from this scene
