Forest flotsam

Walking through nature is akin to walking through an open air organic art gallery and sculpture park packed with endless ever changing and evolving installations. Just like any gallery, you get the best out of your visit when you really take time to look, take in all the detail. Everywhere you look you'll find groovy patterns, interesting shapes and textures, from the large sculptural pieces of the stands through the forests infinite minutia, and everything in between, it's all there to be seen. This piece was created by recent flood waters breaching the banks of Red Rise Brook and scouring the floor of its wooded environs, dumping blended graded smears of woodland flotsam as it receded. Honestly, it's as if the woodland floor has been swept clean. It serves to highlight the extent to which these small forest streams flood and with what force, you'd be surprised.
