Wood engraving, Cir Mhòr, Arran. Printed in three graded ink layers to enhance the aerial perspective I failed to capture in the engraving! Time-consuming but I learned a few things. 150x100 mm.

For those who need a little light relief today - the garden in June. A young robin, azure damselfly, wood mouse, zebra jumping spider. Best not to think about their feeding habits.
In case you missed it:

The OS Benchmark Archive - memorials to how survey/mapping used to be done.
If you have access they are on OS Maps Desktop too.
There is a benchmark on the wall at the bottom of our garden.

The geologist James Hutton was born in Edinburgh 300 years ago tomorrow. Two slices of Scottish geology I (an ecologist) have enjoyed studying. The Moine Thrust Mylonites at Faraid Head, Balnekeil Bay and lichens on a basalt dyke in Lewisian gneiss, Raasay.
