The Opening Music of the Night

by morpheus71

“Sunset is the opening music of the night.”

(Mehmet Murat ildan)




Looking from the summit outcrops of Bonehill Rocks toward Rippon Tor and Top Tor, as the afterglow of sunset gently illuminates the western skies above.

Thank you very much Andy for your generous comments I had gone up there hoping for the forecasted snow, but was very pleased to have seen this great light in a beautiful location. I feel incredibly lucky to be able live so close to the moors, spoilt also with beautiful coastal nearby too.

I love Dartmoor. Can't believe we haven't been down there this year.
An inspirationally lovely shot. Extraordinary depth of field.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thank you ever so much Andrew, the crack seemed a gift for a deep journey towards the distant tors and the afterglow light. Hope you manage to get back to the moors sometime soon. Great to hear of your passion for the place
