On the Edge of the Land

These photographs reveal not only the seaside resorts and clifftop walks we all know, in a new light, they also depict the more dramatic and remote stretches of coast that are relatively inaccessible. The pictures are more than studies of empty landscape for they reveal man's essential and natural affinity with the land, and nowhere is this more poignantly apparent in a seafaring nation, than at the interface between rock and water, terra firma and the tidal ocean.
