Wooded Path

Some places seem to me quite special, magical even, and this is one of them. This path leads up to Reigate Hill, and I sometimes follow it when I walk up that hill from my house. I don’t always take this path however, partly so as not to lose the sense of wonder that this section of the route gives me, and partly because the path is actually quite steep in places!

I decided to try and draw this view in pencil, thinking that was the most likely way that I would capture something of the atmosphere of this place. In the end I think I have managed to put on paper something of the essence of the path at this point, although looking at this drawing is certainly no substitute for visiting the real thing!
