Feeling sad

It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult

Queen Elizabeth, Christmas Speech, 1957

Today there will be a photo essay – not by any means the most representative photos to narrate the story of the day – but because my thoughts this evening are all for the Queen, whose sad death was announced shortly after I arrived at my campsite. The photos have been chosen for their atmospheric qualities, and I hope they prompt reflection in you, as they have in me.
