Description
For those familiar with Dartmoor, or even those who appreciate the landscape, its easy to understand why Vixen Tor holds such great appeal, but entry to the public is forbidden because it is privately owned.This was taken on the say I went rainbow hunting unsucessfully. This is more or less the lowest the sun can get in the sky before Vixen Tor, which lies beneath surrounding hillsides is in shadow.
I really need to get out more at this time, when the light has softened, is highly directional, and yet doesnt have the trademark warmth of sunset.
On the distance lies Great Mis Tor. A location with commanding views but which is itself very challenging to photograph.

Lovely light, and very sharp too. I like the square format - it's something a little different, and works well.

I have actually heard that before. There was a gorl who said that at my exhibition. I thought she was crazy, but it takes all sorts

I guess so. Maybe she was just a bit of a freak. I however am not, I like BOTH Star Wars and Star Trek. I am an open minded kind of girl. I am not the crazy kind.

Beautiful shot, love the light.
If it's private land how did you get there? sneak on? or were you given permission?

You can see the area that is private in the shot, but I did not walk onto it. Thanks

Fantastic! The lighting of course is spot on and you captured a sense of depth really well which can be quite difficult in landscapes. I saw this in Poschl's feature so it's got to be great quality. I hope to take shots lie this some day
