The English Countryside
This photograph was taken in Grasmere in the Lake District near William Wordsworth's house. Wordsworth had said that his writing was inspired by the views from his house and the beauty of the nature surrounding his home in the Lake District. The English countryside is an aspect of English culture that I find fascinating. It brings a sense of calm over you while at the same time eliciting feelings of inspiration and wonder in the fact that everywhere you look in England there is so much history. When I have been homesick or just needed a lift throughout my time here I have journeyed into the countryside and have felt connected to something... as if there have been others just like me throughout time that have walked where I have now walked and felt wonder, ease, excitement and inspiration that I have felt from the beauty of the English countryside.
