The Landscapes of Fragments of Silk
The Fairy Bridge, Waternish, Skye.
The ancient crossing where the human and fairy worlds have touched since time beyond memory — and where Alfur takes his first unknowing step into Ria's world.
'The narrow road over the bridge had long crumbled away, and what remained was a lightly trodden grassy path. My heart was pounding, my feet had taken control, and I was walking somewhere and didn’t quite know where.'
The Black Cuilliin
The high mountains where Ria reveals the path Alfur must follow. A landscape of darkness and light, where ragged peaks dissolve into cloud and the world feels older than human memory.
The Church at Cill Chriosd
An ancient ruin and a war grave, renewed by love. The place where a promise is made, rings are given, and two worlds are joined.

As I walk the hills and valleys of Skye, I stop and wait. Whispers of light and time surround me in all directions. If my images move you, Fragments of Silk will reveal the magic behind the mystery that is Skye. I am happy to discuss any image that touches your soul.
