A stroll around two tors

Once again testing my ankle I decided to try something a little more challenging that would take me across some rougher moorland.  I set out from Dunnabridge and headed to Laughter tor.  The tor itself is not a large one (it can be seen in the distance) however there is [...]

A different take on dawn

Looking for some “good dawn” images I headed into the Bay for 6:30 am with dawn being at 7:15 am.  By the time I looked into the Bay I could see that I was not going to get a “clear” sunrise of any sort; the lights in the distance are [...]

Light on water

Having caught up with the backlog of the holiday snaps I started working on the relatively small number I’ve taken since I’ve been back and wondering about my next post.  These are not all taken on the same day but I realised that on a number of days I’d taken [...]

The sea and the sky

A short evening wander around the centre of Torbay and I found from a photographic perspective that looking down at the sea and up at the sky was the most rewarding.

At Goodrington the last light of the sun on the waves looked good.  The area has some colourful buoys [...]

Summer afternoon on the beach!

The weather had not been that good for a few days so despite it looking a little grey and rather thundery I decided I had to get out.

It looked a little brighter when I got to Goodrington beach.  It was quite warm and rather windy – the beach [...]

Fishing for photos…

For a variety of reasons I’ve not been out much recently and certainly not as much as I would have liked. The evening looked promising so I headed for Brixham hoping for some good sunlight. As is so often the case it didn’t quite work out like that but I still found some [...]

Around the northern arm of the Bay

I’d not been out around the Bay for a while and so I decided to take a look around the northern arm of the Bay wandering from Torquay around to Hope’s Nose and beyond.

One of the iconic sites of Torbay is Thatcher Rock.  As seen above from Meadfoot beach [...]

Late afternoon on the eastern edge of the moors

Although the ankle is still not good I ventured out for some short strolls on the moors yesterday (with it strapped up). The eastern area of Dartmoor around Hey Tor and Widecombe does not have the wide open spaces of the central moors and tends to be a little crowded at [...]

Dartmoor evening

Leaving home to head for the moors on Wednesday evening it was overcast and didn’t look all that promising but when we got to the southern end of Hameldon there were some glimpses of the sun.

The light on the opposite ridge (east of Widecombe) was lovely. It was illuminating [...]

Evening storm

On a Wednesday night I will often walk with friends on Dartmoor however it has rained quite a lot recently so we decided to take a shorter walk in the Bay.

This shows the storm approaching.

There was a fairly brief storm, rain, hail, sleet  (which we did not [...]
