Deforested 3000 years ago by humans to raise their grazing sheep, the South Downs is a chalk grassland hosting many rare species. So what might appear at first glance to be a natural landscape is actually an anthropogenic one, kept in stasis and closely managed to preserve the rare ecosystem which was created unintentionally by humans. I've digitally altered the colouring of these images to play with the idea that humans like to alter their natural landscape to suit them.
