Images from a walk through a deep gorge in Cyprus. At the end of the trail a big rock looms over you before you emerge into the open. If you crane your neck back to look at it you might see the profile of a craggy face in the stone, nose poking into the frame, shrubs clinging like wild hair to her brow. Some ancient rocky deity carved by time and heat, for a moment blotting out the sun. Shot on medium format film, some of it touched by the Mediterranean sun.
