Sharpitor in winter sunshine


Had a chance to get out to Burrator, the reservoir on Dartmoor that feeds Plymouth, on a recent day when, unlike recently, the sun actually peeped out from behind the storm clouds.  Late afternoon, low angled winter sun fleetingly a illuminated the tors that surround the reservoir.  This is Sharpitor, to the north of the reservoir and, at 412m high, a typical Dartmoor craggy outcrop with bracken strewn slopes, golden brown in the sun.  The view didn't last long.  The rain returned - but at least I got a memory of a golden landscape in bleak midwinter.
