Working All Hours
It's 03:50am, I am sat on a moss-covered step, arse is some-what cold but opposite the calm is a yard of great importance hard at work. Devonport Dockyard (originally Plymouth Dock) was primarily built starting in 1690–1691, with the main, initial construction completed by 1698. Commissioned by King William III to support naval operations, it was designed by Edmund Dummer, with the first dry dock opening in 1694.

Gorse Etched
Gorse-etched lines draw me onto the moor. One of those days, the sun was in and out of the clouds, the wind was certainly present and the ground was sodden from the recent rain but despite the cramp in my 'toggle thumb' it was a beautiful walk and I would highly recommend a visit to Dartmoor.
Cann Woods
Immediately north of Whitleigh and south of Tamerton Foliot, Cann woods was a lovely walk. The people were a mixed bag on route but the dogs were a pleasure to see.
Drake's Leat
Drake's leat. What an effort to build too! It took around 35 men and 4 months to get it done. The original construction was delayed due to the war with Spain but the physical construction began in December 1590. It was finished by April 1591. The water flowed 17 miles from Dartmoor to Plymouth.
North of Roborough
We're lucky to live in Devon. It doesnt take long, even on foot to get to somewhere beautiful. Up on the moor again with this shot but it was the tree that got my attention. It's the 'Chuck Norris' of trees, it looks hard and when you look at it surroundings...
Wacker Quay in the Trees
Within 50 minutes of leaving home (on foot) and I am in Cornwall. A further 1.5 hour walking... Wacker Quay. Stunning location at low tide so I am excited to re-visit at a higher point of tide.
Smeatons in the Wind
Trying to find something a bit different when it comes to this particular lighthouse is not the easiest task. On this attempt I am mainly hiding from the wind but it worked I think.
