This scratched window in a rail carriage provided a wonderful structural device for the passing landscape, creating a constant fixed connection throughout the journey.
I hadn't realised until sometime later just how much these must have influenced the 'Earthlines' series, which actually I intended as a spontaneous reaction to the Scottish landscape where I live.
I became very interested in these subconscious 'inprints' and went on to create the projected piece on the home page of this blogspot where one image morphs with another to create a further transitory image, just long enough for the illusion to create an inprinted memory.

The snow lay for months this winter. Somehow there's a comfort in the monotone bleakness, seemingly nothing harsh or challenging; just lines and grey. This time there was no scratched window, instead melted snow on the pane highlighted 'the inbetween'.
