Life in 2018 can sometimes feel like sitting in a crowded cinema, watching a mildly entertaining but endless film full of shouting and fighting, with bonus scenes that keep on coming, wondering why you don’t feel like laughing at all the wise-cracking.

Occasionally, it’s nice to go out outside and just enjoy the scenery. Take a breath and look at the stories in the shadows of branches and leaves. Just for a moment, before the trailers start again.
