This is a classic view of the Snowdon massif in Snowdonia, North Wales. Often referred to as the Horseshoe owing to the curved arc of the the four main peaks. I shot this in low light with Llyn Mymbyr (Mymbyr Lake) in the foreground. Scanned at 4000 dpi from black and white film on a Nikon Coolscan V ED.

After a lull in the recent stormy weather we’ve had in Cornwall, and across the UK for that matter, I found these innocent looking raindrops stuck to my kitchen window. It seems funny how just a couple of hours earlier they were being thrown relentlessly by 60mph winds and soaking everything in their path. See my video on YouTube

Oils on canvas (14×18 inches) (original sold) The Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. Its English name, dating back to at least the twelfth century, derives from the Anglo-Saxon feld-fere meaning “traveller through the fields”, probably from their constantly moving, foraging habits. It breeds in woodland and scrub in northern Europe and Asia. It is strongly migratory, with many northern birds moving south during the winter. It is a very rare breeder in Great Britain and Ireland, but winters in large numbers in these countries. It nests in trees, laying several eggs in a neat nest. Unusually for a thrush, they often nest in small colonies, possibly for protection from large crows. Migrating birds and wintering birds often form large flocks, often with Redwings. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects and earthworms in summer, and berries in winter. (wikipedia) / Reference: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1086630

Well we have moved! Been here a week. The house is still a mess, but we are getting there! Decided to have a break today so went and had lunch at Fingle Bridge Inn after an hours walk! Nikon D40 18-55mm / Within the Dartmoor National Park MAP For more information on Fingle Bridge see here Back in 1893, John Lloyd Warden Page published the following description of Fingle Bridge: ”... the ancient bridge, so narrow that only one cart at a time can pass over it, and the wayfarer caught thereby must retire into one of the triangular recesses, the continuation upwards of the sharp buttresses that divide the hurrying waters. A sweet spot, though somewhat sad toward eventide, when the ‘cry’ of the river sound mournful on the darkening atmosphere”. He must have been having a bad day when he penned the above lines because two years later, in 1895, Page waxes positively waxed lyrical about Fingle Bridge: “How clear the rushing waters gliding beneath the three gray arches! how rich in colouring have the lichens and ferns rendered its hoary walls! and, whether we look up-stream to the hills, softly meeting one another with foliage changing from bright green in the foreground to misty blue in the distance, or downward to where the old mill with its moss-grown water-wheel, nestles beneath the woods, and Prestonbury rises mountainous over all, we shall confess that a scene of greater beauty it has never been our lot to view”.

Went for a little drive this morning to find a tor! Don’t know where many are at the moment, but had heard of Haytor so plugged in the sat nav and off I went! Infront of Haytor are a few wild ponies. The hill was much stepper than it looks too! For those who don’t know the Devon and Cornwall moors are famous for their tors. A tor is a rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill. In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves – particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Tors are composed usually of granite or metamorphic rocks. Tors can also be found around any previously erupted volcanoes (although Devonian and Carboniferous outcrops are also found), though occasionally of other hard rocks such as quartzite, and are the result of millions of years of weathering. In prehistoric times, when the land was covered in forest, rain water seeped into the ground and gradually weathered the bedrock through its natural cracks, or joints. Once the land became exposed, the weathering was accelerated, particularly during the Ice age when freezing water expanded in the cracks. The result can be seen today in dramatic rock formations.
