Journey Cairns. Trail, summit and social.
A cairn is a human made pile of stones.
They are way markers of human existence.
They predate History.
Each visit to a cairn it is never the same.
Human interaction, the weather and landscape combine
to make sure that every interaction you have is unique.
Each photograph is a moment in time of each Cairn on that day.
When we journey to a Cairn we connect to a single continuous point in our Human story.
Adding our story to its story of 4,000 years in one place in the landscape.
