Black Mountain: Green slopes, gentle breeze, quiet rhythm
Mid-June, Black Mountains of Wales, and the land breathes in green. The slopes roll gently beneath a sky softened by scattered cloud, each curve of the hillside catching the light like a held note. It’s a landscape that doesn’t shout—it hums. Quiet majesty, not grandeur. Presence, not spectacle.
Ruby and I walked here with no agenda but to listen. The wind moved through tall grasses andf oxgloves, brushing against our legs like a whispered reminder that we were guests. Paths opened and closed, shifting with the terrain, inviting us to follow without urgency. There’s a rhythm to this place—steady, spacious, and deeply kind.
The mountain itself rises without drama, its peak softened by summer’s lushness. No jagged edges, no harsh lines—just the slow architecture of time and weather. It’s the kind of view that asks you to stay a little longer, to notice the way the light changes every few minutes, to feel the weight of silence as something generous.
This print captures a moment of stillness in motion. A pause in the walk where everything aligned—light, colour, breath, and the quiet companionship of a dog who knows the way. It’s not just a landscape; it’s a feeling. One of being held by the land, of walking with rather than through.
For those who know the Black Mountains, this image may stir memory. For those who don’t, it offers an invitation. To wander, to notice, to be part of something older and slower than ourselves.
