Another morning with periods of excellent clear winter light saw me walking around the Sheepstor area of Dartmoor. Looking north from above the village with the flat topped Sheepstor itself in the background and on the horizon to the left of Sheepstor the pencil thin mast of the BBC transmitter at North Hessary Tor, the lower part shrouded in cloud. It is barely visible at this resolution, but can be seen in the original.
Walking down into the village we see the dominant feature, the granite church with an old restored cross
Many old lichen covered tombstones in the church yard. There is some considerable interest in the church, I will have to return when wellington boots aren't the required footwear
Looking back towards the church on the road out that leads back up to the high moor
About half a mile out of the village Collyton farm with some penned up calves and a bonfire in the farm yard
In a barn an abandoned tractor
Back up on the high moor this is the view over Nattor farm looking north
DP1M and DP2M cameras used
