Layers of Landscape: Visions of the Changing Milesian Peninsula

Most of these photographs were not intended as ‘artistic’ images as such, although many have strong aesthetic aspects. Rather, as so often with photographs, it is through accidental serendipity, that each highlights different layers of landscape in an effort to document the speed of change on the peninsula. The aim is to encourage visitors and inhabitants to look again, protect and cherish their shared heritage, monuments and environment.

Note: As well as being exhibited at the Museum of Classical Archaeology in Cambridge, the photographs are also due be shown at the Archaeological Museum at Balat, Turkey, at the site of ancient Miletos itself.
