Sycamore Gap Heather
£12.50
August at the Gap, shot from high on the slope with the bell heather in full flower, a bank of magenta and purple running through the foreground. The sun sets directly behind the trunk, burning gold through the lower branches while the sky fades from amber to lilac. The most colourful summer take in the set.
The sycamore at Sycamore Gap stood in a dramatic dip in Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough, and for decades it was the most photographed tree in England. It was felled in September 2023, an act that was mourned far beyond Northumberland, which makes photographs of the tree in its landscape all the more treasured now. Every print here was made while it stood.
