Description
Taken yesterday evening, from high on Mere downs looking towards the Blackmoor vale in Dorset, Where Thomas Hardy took inspiration from, and wrote several of his books. He always gave another name to places he wrote of. An example of this would be The valley of the little dairies, which referred to the Blackmoor Vale.

the UK has such beautiful countryside at least from seeing posts by UK renderosity members such as yourself

Beautiful! I've only been into Mere once when I was working for a potter in Marnhull. We drove to the Brush factory to fill a truck with woodshavings for a reduction firing in the kiln. Gosh, that took me back!

I rarely watch tv and when I do it is the Discovery channel. Lately (at flaming last), they are showing a channel called Blighty, all about our wonderful and astoundingly beautiful British Isles. This fabulous image epitomises what this fair isle is all about! More countryside than towns, more grass than concrete, more natural rivers and streams than reservoirs - and far more lovely country folk than one can shake a stick at! This country, as the young are prone to say Rocks!!! Fabulous image! ^=^

Impressive perspective over this part of England I must have passed a few years back, only a bit more southwards along the coast. A superb landscape and capture!

Those shadows on the landscape really bring depth and create additional points of interest for the eyes to find.

Above the world is stretched the sky,— No higher than the soul is high. (From Renascence by Edna St. Vincent Millay) Those words came to mind as I looked at this image. Beautiful capture of land and sky, and of the feeling that soars through one at such a scene. Wonderful light and shadow! I love the long shadows, the grass brightly lit against the them. The textures, undulations and tracks are excellently caught in this light. Stunning view, beautifully captured!

i would have sworn that shadows couldn't be that black outdoors. their sharpness and strength makes this look almost like a modern painting or design. very cool work with interesting shapes.
