Old Man of Storr
The Romans believed that our landscapes may have a spiritual presence, an essence, a personality. 'Genius-loci' was the term used in Roman mythology to describe a protective spirit associated with a place. What a wonderful notion, that it may be possible to encapsulate such 'spirit of place' within our images. I chose to shoot into the morning sun as it illuminated the side of the 'Old Man of Storr', revealing the textural detail in the rocks. When it comes to spiritual presence, this pre-historic landscape is brimming over with it. The views are breathtaking as you stand there among these huge stone pillars, mesmerised by the 'Genius loci'.
