According to the fantastic Dartefacts (dartefacts.co.uk) ... this is Eylesbarrow Stamping/Smelting Mill No.2 om #Dartmoor (I'm not arguing) this is the first time I've visited the ruins of the Eylesbarrow Tin Mine and it will definitely be getting a second visit 😍 Splendid day out 💚📷

So, what's the opinion of the logo?

Mentioned this before, budget for this project is zero ...

Come on, comments please ... I'm just prodding algorithms in an attempt to make this idea work 😜

Autumnal Colours on #Dartmoor
The bracken by the River Lyd, below Nodden Rail Bridge yesterday ... Great Links Tor in the distance 💚📷
Some wonderful light (not like today 😂)

Autumnal scene on moorland. Golden bracken in the foreground .. a distant tor in between the fronds of the fern

I have now added Sweep and two Blurs to my gallery of line-centric drawings, if you’re interested. Lots of amazingly cool people own my stuff. Honest. Yet still not enough. Please share if you can www.chloecumming.com/almost-drawi...

Sweeping drawing of sweep in charcoal and graphite with coloured little bits in hard pastel, red nose, based on an old puppet

A drawing of early nineties blur in charcoal and graphite with some red and orange highlight type bits, crude Alex

Mechanical pencil blur sort of wiggly and taking subtle liberties, circa 1994

Beech Boundary at Prewley Moor on #Dartmoor this morning ... not a great sunrise, but these trees always deliver 💚 Shot on Sony a7r with an adapted Super Takumar 28mm f2.8

A foolhardy attempt to catalogue everything about #Dartmoor ? Or a commendable quest for knowledge? Only time will tell 🤣 ... visit the new website at ourdartmoor.co.uk
It's very much a work in progress ... please feel free to make suggestions for inclusion in the directory 😍

A Little Bit of Pre-Raphaelite(ish) Underwater Tomfoolery
With the wonderful Charlie ... thanks for putting up with my daft ideas (again!) ...
Experimenting in the #RiverWalkham on #Dartmoor ... if you fancy volunteering for a soggy photoshoot, let me know as I need the practise 😍

The View From Above💚
Yesterday I decided to give 10 minutes a day to working on things I've so far managed to not get around to doing.
One of those things was flying the drone for absolutely no real reason apart from getting in some practise ... #northlew #devon #dronephotography

🤣 to be fair, the edge of lower Swelltor Quarry is actually a lot more dangerous ... I did probably mention this to the walkers quite a lot 🤣 I also held the hand of one of the volunteers who'd already taken a bit of a tumble!

I've been slowly updating my website - I took some of the volunteers from The Museum of #Dartmoor Life for a walk around #Foggintor Quarry and the area back in November 2024 ... please take a read and give me some feedback ... thanks 💚

Keen observers might notice this is an incomplete blog entry - I’ll no doubt scan through over the next few days and fill in the gaps … does anybody actually read this stuff? 🤣
