| Salmon Run, Stainforth Foss, Oil on board 12" x 12" |
Salmon Run, Stainforth Foss 12" x 12" Oil on Board. Painted from a photo taken at this year's Salmon Run up the Ribble. It's still incredible to think that these creatures, born and bred in the gravel beds of the upper reaches of the river, spend most of their mature lives out at sea, and then return by some almost magical process (known as magnetoception) to their own childhood home, to spawn and die... and that without the use of GPS or maps... I know we should not put human values on the life cycle of animals - but it is still amazing!
