Stories from the Landscape: UK Photography & Poetry
Welcome to Stories from the Landscape.
A collection of evocative landscape photography, poetry, and personal reflections by Ste Walton.
From the windswept heights of Scout Moor and the South Pennines to quiet woodland encounters across the UK, each piece weaves visual art with storytelling — exploring nature, stillness, and memory.

where light and memory learn each other’s name.”

In that fleeting stillness, where light danced and time seemed to pause, I felt the quiet power of nature's beauty—both fierce and gentle—etching itself into memory with a single whispered word: wow.
The Deer Who Absolutely Did Not Want To Be Caught.
A sharp-tongued deer from Rochdale vents about being spotted by a nosy photographer in this modern, foul-mouthed, Lancashire-dialect poem. Equal parts funny, fed-up and strangely relatable, it captures the chaos of trying to stay unseen when the world insists on looking right at you.
