A Walk from Boveney to Windsor along the Thames

I start early at Boveney. Early enough to capture its 'Northern Lights'. I work through the day until the sun is too glaring. I make a plan - to walk along the Thames path to Windsor - as many have done before me.

"That aura, those echoes-the muted light is transporting. What a space to feel rooted in history. I'd love to make that journey myself; you've stirred the opera lover and architectural dreamer in me."

"In reading & seeing Andy's work I always struggle to know which is more impactful - his writing or photos. In truth, the two combined are greater than their parts, he allows you to explore the importance of place and time from the comfort of home."

Peter from Bluesky

"Andy your work is becoming wonderful, remarkable. A so-called breakdown has been milled into its constituent parts, becoming profound construction: through perception, architecture, the lens and the pen."
