Silent Revelation

by morpheus71

“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Golden hour morning sunlight, in early autumn, bathes the hills above Merrivale and Walkhampton Common below.

Leedon Tor, Ingra Tor. King’s Tor, Pew Tor, Heckwood Tor and Vixen Tor can be seen in the near distance.

Cox Tor, Staple Tor, Great Mis Tor and Little Mis Tor lie in the far distance.

Location: lower slopes of Sharpitor, Dartmoor National Park, Devon.

A large if not somewhat 'fish-eye lens' distortion style virtual tour version of my latest panorama..... it gives a bit more sense of scale, though as a print it would be even bigger (e.g. 28" inches x 9" at 300dpi... it could be made a bit bigger still 3ft by 1ft at 240 dpi!)

Have a look in full screen mode and just use the mouse to 'fly around and up and down'... might want to zoom out a bit too, makes for a less giddy trip!
