Stillness (2017) Photograph by Gary Moger

Stillness

Scottish Highlands — 2017.

I was drawn to the simplicity of this landscape. A mountain rising out of the moor, the grass turning golden as autumn took hold, and a heavy grey sky hanging over everything.

There's no dramatic light here, no big sunset or spectacular burst of colour. Just the mountain, the open ground and the weather rolling in. I like places like this. They don't need to do very much to hold your attention.

The longer I look at the photograph, the more I notice the smaller details — the heather, the rough texture of the ground, the patches of rock and the way the mountain disappears into the low cloud. Another peak sits further back in the mist, almost lost against the sky.

I think that's what I wanted to capture: the feeling of being out in a landscape where everything seems to slow down. The mountain isn't going anywhere. The weather will do what it does. You just stand there and take it in.
