About this work

At first sight this rustic scene looks more like a painting than a photograph. In his native Glasgow, Annan saw an exhibition of the Dutch Hague School painters and was captivated by their work. He toured through the Netherlands recording the land, water, coast and grey skies, and the uniform light.
