Beginning in the fragile, frozen beauty of Unst in Shetland at the spring equinox, he travelled down through the Western Isles and mainland Scotland to Northumberland, and farther south through England and Wales. This stunning book documents Cory Wright’s remarkable journey. Each photograph is infused with the unique spirit of its location – from vast, wild mountain ranges to verdant, dewy forests at sunrise, from windswept beaches in winter to fields bathed in late-summer, early-evening sun.
