Photography: Simon Roberts


In burrowing away for pictures to help me today I came across this beautiful photograph by Simon Roberts, whose book 'We English' was published last year (and can be enjoyed at as a slideshow at http://we-english.co.uk/gallery.html).

What struck me was the amazing purple colour that permeates from the heather in the foreground and up into the sky, as if it were in the air itself. It's nice that such a traditionally effeminate shade brings a touch of girliness to a shot of men doing what they best: hunting.

Anyway, Roberts' book has been out ages, and has some great shots in it, so give it a look.
