Taken during a wild camping trip to the East Dart Nature Reserve On Dartmoor, autumn of 2016


                                           The autumn colours are stunning at this time of year





                          We did actually go swimming earlier in the day and it was freezing!



                                    I live locally so know the best hidden camping spots.




         This is the view of the valley as we were leaving, as you can see it's a fairly steep climb down.



Many thanks for taking the time to look at my post.  This is my first day on Steem and I intend to post poetry and pictures from my hikes and camping.  This is my first attempt at posting pictures so any advice you can give will be much appreciated.

Looks like a great spot thanks for sharing !

Hey my friend, hope you're well? It's a stunning spot and I try to spend as much time there as possible, really glad you enjoyed the pictures :)

You've done well to find it! Just waiting for the rain to stop then I can get out myself !

Yes I've had enough of the rain now! I make it my job to seek out the remotest places I can find .. I love the isolation :D

Nothing like it!

Great I look forward to more then. My next purchase is a bivy bag then roll on some camping!

Wow, what a beautiful area! You're lucky to live so close! :-)

Thanks for your comment and appreciation. I agree and I feel blessed to live locally and it's never something I take for granted. I may not have the biggest bank balance but sometimes when I head out to places like this I feel like the richest man alive.

I can imagine! You just need enough money to live comfortably enough, after that, experiences are much more important and what an experiences you can have with beautiful nature like that around :D

Beautiful @perceptualflaws Welcome to Steem

Thanks my friend. Your comments as always are much appreciated

WOW!!!! So beautiful! I want to come !

Thanks my friend, Your neck of the woods also looks beautiful. Somewhere I've always wanted to go and you seem to be living the life I would if I lived in Montana! All the best to you my friend and looking forward to your future posts!

In looking at these again, I really enjoy the 2nd from the last photo, especially your out of focus hand.
Was that intentional? "a perceptual flaw?" Anyhow, it reminds me of a story and I'll remember to let you know when I get it done. (assuming I get it done)

To be honest I took two pictures of the same image but like yourself ended up preferring the out of focus one .. I think the beauty of the area compliments this slightly dreamlike image. I look forward to reading your story.

So true @perceptualflaws

I think the beauty of the area compliments this slightly dreamlike image.

That really captures it, what caught my eye. It's almost as if the out of focused hand is opening up a window to the beauty. I'm glad I revisited and saw that in a new light.
When I get the story done do you mind if I use the photo in the story, with full credit given to you.

No problem my friend and anything I can do to help. Hope you're having a great weekend.

Thanks, I hope to get out and do some bike riding.
