Battlefield the Beautiful: A sense of place

A sense of place

Some photographs with which I hope to to convey a 'sense of place'. These were taken in September of this year.

Battlefield is not exceptional; many large towns have such places. They are the unconsidered assets of our lives I believe. Over the coming months I hope to reveal the exceptional and the valued in such places and the effect they can have on us, in our 'everyday' lives.

WELCOME

I began this blog in order to have a say in the future of a piece of open ground close to my home in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Using this humble area of 'green space' with it's view across the city as a sounding board for thoughts I have had for most of my adult life about how our built and informal environment comes together; how the places where we live need to be cherished for what they are rather than disregarded for what they are not.

Now, in 2010, I am branching out to include other parts of the city where I live and use daily.

My approach is simply that of a reasonably intelligent spectator; one who may at times be plain wrong but, hopefully, more often just frustrated. Between those twins I hope also to record my affection for and draw attention to what is too little considered; the beauty of ordinary places.
