The woods of Narnia come to Eltham

VIEW SOUTH OVER ELTHAM VALLEY FROM CLUNES VILLAGE.0800.24 MARCH  2015

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe forever changed the way children see lamp-posts.  It was under a lamp-post that Lucy and the fawn Mr. Tumnus meet – the friendly fawn, who Judas-like,  will later become Lucy’s betrayer.  The lamp-post in the snowy woods was not just a lamp-post, it was full of symbolism, and an invitation to venture deeper into the heart of Narnia.  Not that photographer Andrew Sooby had all of this on his mind, when he chanced across the beautiful view at Clunes, looking south over Eltham Valley.  “What I was imagining,” says Sooby, “is how amazing this would look from the air.”

Andrew Sooby took this photograph on a Fuji XE2 with a 14mm prime lens, at f.14, 400sec, on an ISO of 400.
