#Dartmoor

Lovely! I’m sleepy…

I was out on #Dartmoor for dawn this morning, arriving at 3.30am and leaving towards 6am. Persistent, thin rain and low cloud, so low visibility. Visited the ruins of an old gunpowder factory. Thanks to @onlyindevon.co.uk for accompanying me, and being a great guide…

As I’m away on Dartmoor for a while, I haven’t yet been able to do this year’s comparison picture. The view has now changed quite considerably.

From my archives - Moss Side 1994

I’m now on #Dartmoor for a while, where once, in the early light of dawn, I thought I saw a unicorn.

Ardwick

The couple I saw him photograph were in the arcade, slightly older. I actually recognised him by his camera! It was August bank holiday weekend. Maybe it was 1993? I remember constantly hearing ‘I got the key, I got the secret’ all weekend.
