Devon Lanes Ditch Townsend

This book of 59 digital art pieces explores an infrequently visited corner of Devon. From the perspective of tiny, often ancient, country lanes, it wends its way through the 58 parishes containing most of the Taw river watershed. Spanning the gap between Exmoor to the north and Dartmoor to the south, the zone covers 15% of the county. Through all weathers and seasons, it tests the author's hypothesis that Devon's rural beauty lies not in its supposed naturalness, but in its kaleidoscopic combinations of colour, contrast and contour.
