Rob -

I love Graham's landscapes and always look forward to seeing them.  Not 
everything has to be controversial.  Graham's photos are restful and 
calming.  I would love to have them hanging on my wall and disappear into 
them when things get stressful.  One person's bland is another person's 
nirvana, I guess.

To me, Graham's statement about the countryside is that he finds it 
beautiful.  Thanks, Graham, for showing us where you live.
