Football Landscapes Of Europe: Images Of An Alternative Journey Across The UEFA 55

by Dave Harry

A decade ago, Dave Harry set out to watch games in each of the 55 nations that make up UEFA but not in a conventional way. He made his journey less about visiting stadiums and more about visiting landscapes - spots where there was something unique as a backdrop or on occasion in the foreground, to the pitch (e.g. a UNESCO backdrop), a beautiful sight (a mountain or coastline), quirky (transport related!), historical landmarks (e.g. memorials to wars, religious buildings), unusual grandstands (an architectural style unique to the region), urban or suburban (tower blocks or housing), in enclaves, semi-enclaves and exclaves, on each of the four continents that host leagues games within the UEFA pyramid and occasionally, watch a match at a well known stadium when it added to the story (e.g. the Marakana).

In "Football Landscapes of Europe" Dave has produced a collection of images that when taken as a whole, represent the geography and the history of the UEFA continent, as well as the football landscapes of the game as it is played across the 55 nations.
