I went over to my former home town of Totnes in South Devon UK.,this morning having checked that high tide was at 09,56 and all was still with the River Dart like a mirror and beautiful lateral warm light. A similar scene to my earlier Reflections of the Past image that was taken with my trusty old Nikon D100. Still getting accustomed to all the features on my recently purchased Nikon D300 but was more than pleased with the results of the images I took this morning, this one having little editing, just a slight perspective crop and a little sharpening. Nikon D300 / 18 – 70 @ 29mm / AP F16 for 1/13sec / CP Filter

Time to try something different and I’d appreciate your honest feedback on this one please. Two highly reflective images taken in the portrait format, slightly cropped and reduced in size to fit on a black mask, total image size is 4500×3000. I took both of these images within minutes of one another from each side of the old bridge over the River Dart in my former home town Totnes, Devon. The PAST image is of the former warehouses and church converted to luxury riverside apartments, the PRESENT being a new block of colourful riverside houses recently built on the site of a former garage business. Nikon D300 / PAST – / F16 for 1/13sec / 25mm / PRESENT- / F16 for 1/20sec / 18mm / CP Filter

The Cott Inn at Dartington, near Totnes is one of the oldest Inns in the UK and has been continuously licenced to sell ale since 1320 AD. A charming thatched roof covers the 5 foot plus thick walls that are constructed of cobb (an ancient mix of clay mud, cow manure,straw and lime, then rendered with a lime plaster) it has certainly stood the test of time and still looks so pristine. I have enjoyed many meals there washed down with the odd pint or two. /

Another image from my former home town of Totnes in South Devon. The ancient Parish church of Totnes was completed in AD1450 and sits on the site of the former Parish church and Priory which dates back to AD1088, the building to the right of the church is the ancient Guildhall which was a part of the Priory and is now used for Mayoral ceremonies and town council meetings. Much of the red sandstone used in the building of the church was taken from the cliffs at Paignton and Torquay, then a 10 mile trip on rough sea before going another 10 miles up the River Dart to Totnes, all this was on ancient rafts, quite a feat for the time. Nikon D300 / AP F11 for 1/50sec / 18 – 70 zoom @ 24mm / CP Filter

Most of the former industrial warehouses bordering the River Dart at Totnes have now been remodelled as luxury riverside apartments, good to see them have a new lease of life and I believe it keeps much of the character of the old town. An early morning image of some of them reflecting on the still water of the river at high tide.

Just a street scene taken on Market Day in the ancient Historic Borough of Totnes in Devon. I lived in Totnes for about 30 years and loved the atmosphere in the narrow streets and the ancient timber framed buildings, most of which are over 500 years old,seem to lean in every direction, but all add to the character. In recent years Totnes has earned the title of Alternative Capital of the UK, not because of the population which is under 10,000 but a large influx of hippy types and green environment followers seemed to have moved to the town. A market has been held in the town for over 1000 years and the modern day market day can be most enjoyable and filled with atmosphere, In Roman times, Totnes was one of the largest towns in population and at one time even minted it’s own currency, thankfully it didn’t grow as fast as all the other towns in numbers. Nikon D300 / 18 – 70 zoom 22mm<br />CP Fiter<br />AP F11 1/125 sec

The purpose-built,Grade 2 listed, Tweed Mill was designed by Oswald P. Milne in 1930 for The Dartington Hall Trust and for more than 50 years made up part of the local textile industry. The historic water wheel, originally used to directly power the looms, has recently been converted to be a hydro- electric power source, producing 3kWh of electricity, with the water channel coming from the adjacent Bidwell Brook.

Staverton Station The South Devon railway opened in 1872. It was used for both passengers and goods traffic; primarily wool, cider and coal and agricultural items. The last passenger train ran on the 3rd November 1958 , with freight continuing up to September 1962. It was re-opened as a preserved steam railway line in the spring of 1969. Staverton station has been used by the BBC on several occasions, including the ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ and Michael Palin’s ‘Ripping Yarns’.
