I love this video of Bellever in November 2024 I found. It was very cold with a light dusting of frost, there was a beautiful mist over the river and that night snow fell. #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography

For #MeerMittwoch this week, the evening view to the sea from Plymouth just over six years ago this week during a relaxation of the COVID restrictions that allowed us to get away for a week's break along the coast.

#Photography #Travel #Plymouth #Devon #Sunset #SeaWednesday

A very tranquil scene, feeling silent with an overall cool temperature all around but our face is being warmed from the weak sun across the sea falling towards the horizon. We're standing on a hill on a meandering coastline, with the steep, grassy slope falling away near our feet and down towards a promenade that follows the contours of the land and the shore a few dozen metres lower down. A small bay is formed near where we are as the land to the right curves around then doubles back on itself, all the time with a hilly landscape running behind it. With the sunlight in our eyes we only get impressions of buildings and walls dotted on the land but there's a domed structure near the hill's apex on the right. The sea is an elephant's hide, darker on the left but brightening to the right under some of the reflected sunlight on its textured surface. The horizon is a little hazy where the only-just blue sky fades into the palest of orange-whites. A few large, low islands sit far off towards the centre of the view, each a slightly lighter silhouette on the sea's surface than the one in front.

Happy Autumn Equinox! The equinox is an astronomical event when the Sun is directly over the Earth’s equator before it dips for us in the northern hemisphere in the darker half of the year.
The Equilux is on Friday, This is the actual day of equal light, in the UK.
And happy spring equinox for those in the southern hemisphere ☀️. #autumnequinox

The O brook (the stream that runs under saddle bridge), yesterday, a lovely wild spot near Combestone tor, Dartmoor, #Devon. The area is the site of a rare dragon folklore story on #Dartmoor, although a relatively recent one, the dragon was seen in the tin mine workings in the 19th century. The ‘dragon’s breath’ reported by locals was most likely vapour from tin mining. #photography #folklore

Calf and wind blown hawthorn tree above Hexworthy on Tuesday, #Dartmoor, #Devon. It was wonderful to be so high, you could see the sky through the gaps in the stone walls. ☺️ #photography

#SilentSunday #Tiles #Devon

An image of small square C17/C18 lead-glazed relief tiles produced in Barnstaple, Devon, laid edge to edge and surrounded on two sides by plain stone. Various designs are shown including three fleur-de-lys and two different stylised flowers. They are quite worn but some of the original glaze remains as an orangey-yellow colour. Sunlight and shadows fall across the tiles. They are located at Hatherleigh church in Devon.

One of my favourite places on Dartmoor is Wistman's Wood, and I took a friend to see it, on a warm and sunny day, earlier this month.
A short walk from the road takes you to a boulder-strewn hillside, densely-packed with stunted oaks, mosses, lichens, and ferns; a small oasis of residual temperate rainforest in the barren expanse of the Moor.
It's a magical spot.

A dense thicket of dwarf oak trees sits amongst boulders in dappled sunlight. Most surfaces are covered in moss, lichen or fern. The whole scene is very green.
