(Jane Austen )
Deep in a wooded coombe on southern Dartmoor, are the graceful twin cascades of Venford Falls.
The Venford Brook runs from here down a steep hanging-valley into the River Dart.

Lighting fabulous, as always.
I have written a blog post about how to find this place, if any of you are visiting this area in the future... plus some thoughts on the anthropomorhic rocks between the falls here
Please feel free to add any thoughts/ questions to the blog, as always

To include only the elements I have done in this with the lens I used, it needed two frames. There was quite a bit of overlap between the frames, which helped reduce parallax issues and the flow of the falls was very consistent
