Description: (TLDR)
An introduction and 136 big pages of colour pictures of one orchard at all times of the year.
On the back of the book it says:
"This is book that needs few words, being a visual contemplation of a year in the life of a sixty-acre cider orchard. The photographs allow you to meander through the trees on paths made by sheep, to stand and feel the warming rays of the morning sun, to wander along the garlanded spring avenues, to shelter from the summer rain under dark green boughs, to observe the activity of spiders revealed by the autumn dew shining in their webs, to imagine the flavour of cider made from the varieties of ripening apples, and to consider the moods of the year and the passing of time.
Gareth Rees-Roberts attended St. Martins School of Art before going on to study the guitar at the Royal Academy of Music, where he was awarded the Julian Bream Prize for his playing. He has lived in the Welsh Marches for over thirty years, working as a musician and instrumental teacher, and as a freelance photographer. In 1983 he was founder and first chairman of Mid Border Arts, and was responsible for the running of the first Presteigne Festival. In 1997 he was elected as an associate of the Royal Photographic society. Since the 1980s he has held more than a dozen solo exhibitions, mainly of his black and white landscape photographs, which he develops and prints using traditional darkroom methods and materials."
