There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but Nature more,

From these our interviews, in which I steal

From all I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel

What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

Lord Byron.

### [Autumnal Glory by Andy Marshall](https://stories.andymarshall.co/27oct2020?ref=digest.andymarshall.co)

My visit to Benmore Botanic Gardens in Argyll and Bute, Scotland felt more like an inoculation against the onset of winter.

📸 I'm mesmerised by the micro worlds that surround me. Often when I'm photographing an ancient building, I end up photographing the lichen on the surfaces. What I love about lichen is that it isn't a single organism - it's a symbiosis between algae and fungi.

I spent several days in the spring and summer of this year bathed in the dappled, leafy light of a walled garden at the Pendle Heritage Centre in Barrowford Lancashire.

Within the medieval walls of the magnificent Ripon Cathedral there is a marvel that’s hidden within plain sight.

## Vanlife

This time last year we pitched up at [Bunree Caravan And Motorhome Club Site](https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-sites/scotland/highlands/bunree-caravan-club-site/?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) on the shores of Loch Linnhe, near to Fort William, Scotland. Shortly after we arrived we heard that Greater Manchester (where we live) had been put into tier three restrictions. We were allowed to stay, but had to stay in the van and not use the facilities. Luckily, the van has a loo.

The views over Loch Linnhe are spectacular.

## Vanpendium: New Additions

On top of the maps in the van I've added new 'cheat-sheets' on the geology of Britain, lichen in churchyards, common seaweeds and flora and fauna. Helps feed my curiosity.

## On My Coffee Table

### [Cognitive Architecture: Designing for How We Respond to the Built Environment.](https://uk.bookshop.org/books/cognitive-architecture-designing-for-how-we-respond-to-the-built-environment-9780367468606/9780367468590?ref=digest.andymarshall.co)

📸Do you know when you come across a book and it seems to correspond with how you see things? This book did that for me (the first edition). It shares a fascinating insight into how and why we connect with places that we love. My camera seemed to lead me to the same conclusions before I read the book.

In this expanded second edition of Cognitive Architecture , the authors review new findings in psychology and neuroscience to help architects and planners better understand their clients as the sophisticated mammals they are, arriving in the world with built-in responses to the environment.

### [The Oak Papers a book by James Canton.](https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-oak-papers/9781838851514?ref=digest.andymarshall.co)

'Some five years ago, I sought solace from the ways of the world by stepping into the embrace of an ancient oak tree . . . From the first meeting, there grew a strange sense of attachment I did not consciously recognise until I later began to realise the significance that trees, and oak trees especially, can have in our lives.'

## Hotspots

## Ripon

It was the final day of my commission at Ripon Cathedral last week. Spent much of my time up in the clerestory photographing the nave.

## Lessons in Light

I've spent many years tussling with light, and it continues to cajole me with its complexity, its unpredictability and the immeasurable magnitude of outcomes from its interaction with our buildings. There's a particular type of light on a building that I love - one that strip-lights the edges and corners of a building. It happened on the west front of Ripon Cathedral as I was leaving.

Quick tip for photographers: always check the opposing 'shadow side' for impact too.

**Bury Art Museum - Spirit of a Place**

[Bury Art Museum’s latest exhibition called Spirit of a Place](https://buryartmuseum.co.uk/Spirit-of-a-Place?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) aims to counter disenchantment with our high streets by looking at Bury’s Silver Street and Market Place through the lens of artists, archives and artefacts from their collection, and through that, help redefine the way we relate to them.
