Your photos capturing ‘the spirit of Transition’

I asked a while ago for people to send me in photos that they felt captured the spirit of Transition, that I could use them in the book. Thanks to everyone who sent in pictures, I am very grateful. Here is a small selection of what I was sent, I hope you enjoy them. Thanks everyone! I hope they all come out OK, formatting them has been a bit tricky….
