Anthropogenic Ecosystem
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 very much an anthropogenic one and is today kept in stasis and closely managed to preserve the rare ecosystem which was created unintentionally by humans. I've slightly digitally altered the colour of these images to make them more eye catching and to play with the idea of human's altering their natural landscape to suit them.
