Devonshire Countryside To Die For

in photography •  7 years ago 


A Beautiful English Spring


This photograph, of the Devonshire landscape, captured the sights of a quintessentially English Spring, shot through a quintessentially English churchyard. So pretty and such a peaceful last resting place.

I'm hoping to go back to Devon again this Easter and will be looking for more scenes such as this one to post on Steemit.

It's amazing what you can capture on a very standard phone when the light is just right!

It is a very beautiful shot. I am originally from Paignton in Devon, so I like to see photographs of my home county.

Thank you @mr-neil. Where do you live nowadays then?

The United Arab Emirates near Dubai. My parents still live in Paignton. I was able to take my wife (from Philippines) and child there last summer for 4 weeks.

Quite a contrast! 😊

Yes, my wife thought that England was one big forest. She thought the scenary was from The Sound of Music. 😀

One big forest? Did you keep her away from the cities then? 😁

Thanks for the resteem. It's very much appreciated.

I've just realised the post is over 7 days old. Yes, Paignton is more of a town. Brixham "is like Italy" :-)

Oh well. It's still got an hour to go! 😁

How pretty even though I see gravestones. It looks much nicer than spreading them out in rows. Do you know how old the graves are?

I didn't look to be honest @bxlphabet. If I go back I'll look more closely next time. 😊

Now that I am posting here, I have a different urge of how I take photos. I hope you will go back and I hope I will see your new ones :)

WHAT a beautiful place t take a leisurely stroll!

And look at the flowers! Gosh I wish it were spring already!

I'd forgotten just how beautiful it was until I saw this photo again. It was warm too. I also wish it were Spring already. If feels like it's been a particularly long winter this year.

Thanks @goldendawne and for the generous upvote. I appreciate it. 😍

Thanks. I'm not really a phototographer. I just have a go with my phone. 😊

Looks like a perfect day! I could use some sun right about now.

It was! Thanks for stopping by.

Your phone does it quite well :P

So nice view over there, no words to express the fresh sensation it sends to me. That flowering palette is wondeful Gillian it's normal you are willing to go back.

Yes. thanks!
