Description

Cottage In The Valley is a photograph I took from high ground that used to be an Iron Age Hill Fort in the middle of the county of Devon, England. This position looks to the south towards the River Exe and the English Channel. There is plenty of rain in this part of the world, so the landscape is always green. Hills roll away to the sea and valleys sweep like summer swallows through woods and forests. Cottages like this one nestle in favourable positions down quiet lanes, bound in by high hedges and quilts of corn or meadow grass. I liked the way the boughs of this tree framed the scene below and the way the distant hedges had similar curves to the woven branches above.
