Dartmoor and Exeter
Dartmoor National Park is a huge, lovely and rather empty piece of land in Devon (not Cornwall as someone might say). One striking feature is the local sheep's carelessness when crossing the roads that go through the park. You'd think they look right, then left, then right again, on the zebra crossing (no no, zebras are not crossing the roads... Read the paragraph again if you're lost), but no, they don't care.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the little woolen devils but believe me, they're actually something of a wolf in sheep's clothing when they make sheep's eyes at you before engaging on the tarmac.
Enough of sheep-y idioms. Now's time to see those long awaited pictures. Ladies and Gentleman, Devon it is.
It's a rock and hard place. All-in-one. And it's huge.
Devon landscapes. Hills, fog and, if you look close enough, a little ant telling its kids off for not making their bed.
Solid as a...rock. Well obviously, he's made of rock.
St Peter's Cathedral, Exeter. For the culture-savvy people that you are, you'll be happy to hear (or read, actually) that this piece of architecture has the longest unbroken Gothic ceiling in the world. What is a church with a broken ceiling anyway? A broken church?
River Exe and swans doing their "how-about-some-river-love, babe" dance.
I even filmed them. It's like a live ballet without people dancing and with water. OK, it's nothing like a real ballet. Whatever. Just click on "play".
That's a LOT of swans. Oh, and a bridge and the cathedral, of course.
I think one of the houses is the "Quay House".
Exeter's marina.
Sunset on the river Exe.
