An evocative, atmospheric digital painting blending the rhythmic movement of a Cornish tide with the rugged silhouette of a moorland ridge. The color palette is dominated by deep slate blues, earthy ochres, and foam white. Ethereal light rays pierce through heavy rain clouds, creating a sense of "acoustic" energy and vibration within the landscape, rendered in a textured, impasto style.
To capture a place like Bodmin Moor, you cannot just describe the visual. You must capture the geology, the history, and the soundscape. *Cornwall In Verse - Tide To Tor In Poetry* attempts to map the acoustic soul of Cornwall, not just its scenery.

Giles, a black cat with white paws places a paw upon an A4 pad which has a scrawled mind map/brain dump about maps and mapping. There is a shaft of sunshine illuminating some of the pad.
PhD ponderings from from ten years ago (how is it a decade ago?! How?!!!!!). This absolute lad standing on a mind map about maps. Insert meta paw here. #placewriting #maps

The place is real. The shift is internal.
From London to New Mexico, a life not restarted—just re-seen.

Did I just get so excited testing a hydrophone in the sink I nearly let it flow over? Will I go stick it in the frog bucket now? #hydrology #water #river #riverwriting #placewriting #naturewriting #poetry #whatisthethythmofariver #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice

Curved stone wall of a dam built in segments, with a green metal sloping wall in long sections going down to dark blue water with white wind and wave lines on it, white clouds low down and blue sky. It looks still and windilly dynamic at once.
Winscar Reservoir. Next ‘step’ up into the watershed source of the Don. What is the rhythm of a place? How can we write it/with/thro it? #river #riverwriting #naturewriting #placewriting #poetry #fieldtrip #phenomenology #dowhatyouvalue #dowhatyoucan #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #donriver #don

Brownish orange river water in a small stream falling over a step about two feet wide in a cascade of whitish spills.
Totally treacle source of the Don (well, where it’s first named on the map). Is it possible to write about this without comparison? Without imposing? #river #riverwriting #fieldtrip #poetry #naturewriting #placewriting #phenomenology #dowhatyouvalue #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #donriver #don
