sacred wells


the site of an ancient sacred spring in Rezare. This site and others are described at the Megalith information site (link). I can find very little information on Rezare (which might be because it appears to have been called Besair on the 1765 map see link)

Dunterton Church

unmistakeably from the same job lot as Stoke Climsland church but on the other side of the river (see previous page for view from the other side of the river.

inside the old mill


mysterious machinery lurking in the heart of the old mill at Beals Mill.

pendulous sedge and yellow archangel


pendulous sedge is common to damp woods and streamsides but the flower is striking nevertheless. Yellow archangel (this is a religious time of year for plant names, wood sorrel is often called alleluia ), in the lower 2 pictures, has a very striking landing pad on its lower lip.

swamp dogs


oh what fun it is to run around until you misjudge how deep the swamp is. No dogs were harmed in the taking of these photographs which is more than you can say for this monstrosity
These things make me feel so much pain and anger I have to turn away. Is it so important to be so clever?
