How do you capture energy in a photograph? Energy is an invisible force that can be felt, but cannot easily be captured in pictures. The hilly landscape of Cornwall feels different from the rugged landscape of the Highlands. You can get that impression in a photograph, but the energetic feeling a landscape evokes is hard to grasp.

Dragon lines run through certain areas of England. Important centers were built along these lines in ancient times. The dragon lines can be measured with dowsing rods. When there is more activity of energy the dowsing rods are caused to go off. Invisible to the naked eye, but resulting in power places like famous Glastonbury. This energy is what I wanted to capture. But is that even possible?

In 2011 and 2012, I traveled along two major dragon lines. The Michael Line runs from St. Michaels Mount in the southwest, past Glastonbury and Avebury to Hopton in eastern England. The Spine of Albion runs from The Isle of Wight in southern England all the way to Durness in northern Scotland. I traveled past the famous power places hoping to capture something of the invisible.

It became a series of the photogenic British landscape, where the elements of the weather helped to produce particularly beautiful pictures. Still, I found it difficult to convey anything of the enchantment. I could not grasp the magical atmosphere I was feeling. It quickly became something like "You must have been there to feel what it was like".
