The Aune Legacy

by morpheus71

Autumn leaves gild the moss festooned granite boulders and bedrock at the River Aune, in Dartmoor National Park.

The name Aune is derived from Old Norse word au{dh}n – meaning ‘wasteland’, or a ‘desolate place’ – which fits the description of the source of this river – in a bleak and boggy mire to the west of Ryder’s Hill, high on the southern side of the moors, rather well.

A wonderful shot. I always struggle to portray woodland scenes effectivly: they seem so confused and fussy in camera but this is lovely.
Best wishes,

Andrew
