This weeks’ Photo Challenge is “Elemental”. This photo was taken as we watched this storm blow in from the sea.. moments later we were engulfed in the middle of it..it was spectacularly loud and bright with thunder and lightening all around us. Then just as suddenly..it passed over and it was back to bright sunshine.
Mist over Dartmoor
A moody morning overlooking Dartmoor , looking down from Brentor Church. Mist always gives the landscape and air of mystery I think.
I was really pleased to capture the rainbow and the doves, but I wasn’t expecting the man on horseback. On closer inspection it is the top of a weathervane depicting Uncle Tom Cobbley!
Windswept!
Bent against natures force,
Bowing forward
Stark and leafless.
Groaning, creaking!
As age and sharp winds take their toll
Age rings speak
Of years stood tall.
Stoned walls
Protect sheep
On wild hills
As trees pull against their roots.
Holding for long
Against the elements
Waiting on Spring
Again to be strong.
