I had no camera

but I had  my phone and sketch book and it was really good to slow down & take a bit of time looking at things in more detail through drawing.

I had some mud from Withens Clough and quickly made a camel. This was difficult : without armatures for the legs (a camels’ legs are spindly so you can’t sit the body easily on the top of them- the skeleton is really important when building a camel!). Tired of making it stand I just laid it down on the rock next to the pool- I like this –it looks dead! From exhaustion or poisoned, the suns piercing rays- giving this image a surreal, slightly sci-fi, quality.

Not very clear- the camel looks a bit slug like but there is something to take forwards here.
