The terminal menhir (№ 3, B or N4) at the end of Stone Row (№ 3, B or N3) at Drizzlecombe on Dartmoor, Devon. Photographed from the north-east on 27 August 1994.

Colour photograph of the 2.3m tall menhir, at a slight lean in the middle distance, at the end of a prehistoric stone row at Drizzlecombe on Dartmoor. It was a very sunny day with a beautiful blue sky, though the photo shows much cloud to the north-east. The moors are a beautiful patchwork of grass and other short plants in hues of yellow, mustard and purple, and various greens. The moors in the distance are darker, gently curved and torless. Another stone row with terminal menhir can be seen in the distance on the left. A large rainbow and smoky blue light flare can be seen covering the bottom centre of the photo.

The far South West of England is home to many clapper bridges. They are made of large, flat, stone slabs, supported by stone piers, and are mostly medieval in origin.

A stream runs through winter woodland, with a stone clapper bridge crossing it.

The wonderful snowdrops at St Raphael’s chapel at Huccaby today. Built in 1868 as a combined chapel and schoolroom, it was a school during the week, the desks are now used as pews. The church shed is pictured here.

An extra post, it occurred to me last night, I don’t post any black and white images I learnt photography in the 1990s I learnt using 35mm black and white film. I processed my first film and printed my first images at a course at Norwich arts centre in 1990.
When I was 15 Yes I’m that old 🤣. The I did a two years full time course at college.
Maybe I’ll post one black and white image a month.
