The lower slopes, cloaked in woodland, mask an industrial heritage: reservoirs rewilded, the yawning chasm of Hodge Close, an archaeology of slate quarrying. Ascending the fell, trees give way to open hillside topped by rocky outcrops, and a panoramic vista is revealed. The Langdale Pikes dominate a skyline which brims with Lakeland's finest peaks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHolme Fell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a 'sample of landscapes' as the subtitle says, in two senses. Firstly, as a series of photographs of Holme Fell, with a focus on Hodge Close, the old slate quarry, at its centre. Secondly, as a sequence of poetry and prose that reacts to the photographs themselves, and through which are also woven some historical accounts of quarrying along with the narrative of a contemporary architect escaping her responsibilities but questioning the nature of things as she encounters them. 'Hodge Close' operates as an inner section of 'Holme Fell', landscape within a landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe images and texts exist in a loose symbiosis, with parallel truths and connecting paths between them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58250054369664,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/6932\/1531\/files\/HolmeFell.jpg?v=1781185662","url":"https:\/\/www.westwoodbooks.co.uk\/products\/holme-fell-a-sample-of-landscapes-trev-eales-robert-sheppard","provider":"Westwood Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
