And let's not forget the tea, scones and clotted cream:) And Pickles, hmmhmmm. You are so right, the variety of nature, coarse rock formations, grassy hills, moors, the atmosphere, you've got a very pleasant location there. Greetings from the Netherlands over here;) Posted 12 years ago

  Thank you it is great to have one place to share your photos and it is very easy to do, thanks for the encouragement, working on an organic farm gives me great opportunities and living in the countryside is as good as it gets for photographing wildlife :) Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago
