Description Worth spending an evening on 'top of the world' - watching the sun go down over the landscape of this ancient land. And to turn around and then watch the orange glowing moon rise in the East was a fitting end to the day.

And an alternative view of the same location about an hour later....

No, it's just inland from Camelford, Roughtor not far from the funnily named 'Brown Willy'.

Haha yeah.
It reminds me of elephant rocks, the location used for the battle in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

About time we got out to be honest, photography has taken a back-seat recently. Thanks Mark, back from distant shores then I presume? With cards stuffed full too?

Thanks dear, drive through Camelford every week - should really have done this one so many times before. I think the conditions were perfect though on Saturday evening. Sunset closely followed by the moonrise behind us. Headtorch came in handy on the wander back down though!
