The landscape has inspired artists throughout time and has a special way to cast spells over all of us. Mr. Hockney talks wonderfully about the power of nature and the landscape, "nature, never, never let's you down" and many artists strive thier whole life to capture nature in the landscape and reveal something of its power and our relationship to it.
The photograph is by local artist and Hockney volunteer Dave Power, from his series This is Invisible.
A beautiful and thought provoking series. You can view more of this incredible work at http://iamtheantihero.carbonmade.com/
"This Invisible is a photographic project that asks the viewer questions about mankinds' physical permanence upon the earth and in turn admires the beauty brought about in these special landscapes."
The David Hockney quote is from a great interview he gave a few years ago, a transcription of which can be read at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/johntusainterview/hockney_transcript.shtml#top
