This piece shows another barrier to nature. A big estate in Essex with both farmland and woodland with human access denied apart from at the 'landowner's' discretion.

The piece contrasts the stark manmade sign and metal gate against the soft woodland background with a halo of sunlight breaking through the trees.

Hidden within the images are several phrases connected to forbidden access.
