The presence of mankind's intervention with the land is visible in these images. The cultivation of the land involves the penetration of the earth to enable the growth of crops. The building of dry stone walls creates the sectioning of the land forming areas for grazing animals. These textured surfaces and three dimensional forms leave the traces and evidence of humanity. For me, the exciting thing about these landscapes is their vastness and the immensity of mankind's ability to transform the landscape through the labour of agriculture and farming.
