Look up

During the first Covid-19 lockdown in Wales, which lasted over 100 days, the only outing I made apart from food shopping was the dog walks to the local woods. Although I can hardly claim I felt locked-in thanks to the rural environment, the sudden loss of the freedom of movement gradually affected me. Occasionally I felt as if some invisible force was squeezing the space surrounding me very slowly.

But it was spring and everything in the woods was continuing to grow and the sunshine was increasing its strength, just like in any other year. I was fascinated by the lightness of the sky glimpsed through layers and layers of leaves.
