Default The English at Play

Brighton-based photographer Simon Roberts travelled the length and breadth of England in a motorhome for his book We English - in which he tries to capture a nation at play, and explore the relationship between people and the places they visit.

This link may not work for those outside of the UK, but the book is available.

It works fine in France where I'm on holiday.
The photos are gorgeous - can't help wondering why the French don't use their nature which is equally varied and beautiful in the same way the Brits do?
thanks for the link, Dave

First pic is a bit of a John Davies clone.... http://jmcolberg.com/weblog/2007/04/john_davies/
Not sure myself, think the quality of light lets him down on a lot of the pics.

Very enjoyable, Dave. Given it was a computer slide show, the light captured in the prints looked pretty good on my screen.
