The Source and End
by morpheus71
By her just standard, which is still the same:
Unerring nature, still divinely bright,
One clear, unchanged, and universal light,
Life, force, and beauty must to all impart,
At once the source, and end, and test of art."
Alexander Pope
Puddles of early morning sunlight on the undulating slopes of the vales Yarnacombe, Wytchcombe, Spriddlescombe and Bearcombe. These lie in the South Hams area of Devon.
Yarnacombe and Brownston woods are in the immediate hanging valley.
Windy Ridge at Ugborough sits in the middle distance and the ridges of shoulders of Harford Moor, Stall Moor & Penn Moor on the southern fringes of the Dartmoor plateau sit in the far distance

Thanks ever so much for the encouraging comments on this one - it was great after two years of thinking about this image to actually have the chance to photograph it in such light... this is why the camera bag comes on almost all my journeys... just in case some delightful series of events, beyond my control should occur for a few moments
Such is the essence and magical quality of photography there will never be another moment in time like this again and you have made a beautiful image from the place and time
Gear Not enough!!
