Organic Vs. Manmade in the New Forest

My current project looks at the organic and manmade elements of the New Forest To begin the project, I gathered visual research by way of photographing my local area of the New Forest, capturing images of the natural, more obvious features alongside the mechanical features, which visitors to the area may not link to the New Forest, however I felt this needed to be documented within my research so that the outcome was perhaps less obvious than the 'typical' look at the New Forest. I have included photographs and drawings/collages from the initial research stages of my project.
