One of my favourite things in the whole world is the vastness, the potential, the depth, the swirledness of the sky.

Here are a few photos I’ve taken over the last few months. I hope you find pleasure and beauty in them, that for a time, the stillness may bring peace and meet a little of that great longing with which we all are filled – no matter how deep we bury it.
