Publisher's Description
Ten photographs exploring the unsettling locations of Rookeries in southern Dorset, England.
The birds are absent, what remains are signs of ritualistic behaviour. The natural structures and detritus highlighted by electronic flash signify the skeletal bird. Rookery sits outside the tradition of natural history representation, revealing the darker side of the romantic landscape.
