Dartmoor Farm Granite
It's been a while since I posted a photo, having been focusing all my energy on marketing. It's amazing how quickly time slips by...
Granite and lichen
This one was partially processed in the digital darkroom and I bumped into it today while having a tidy up (and there's another one on the way).
On a grass verge bordering the car park for the Dartmoor Miniature Pony Centre, the function of this and the other granite boulders must be to stop cars parking where they shouldn't.
I'm not sure what the hollowed out granite was originally used for but it's now home to some wild grasses and what looks like chickweed. It's completely covered in lichen so I guess it's been many tens of years, maybe more than a hundred, since last used for its original purpose.
comments / critique / feedback always welcome :)
Stumble It!

That granite has curious shapes... As if it had been sculpted by man. I love granite... Especially the granite homes in the North of Portugal. They are unique. If you ever have a chance, visit Almeida. You'll take sweet memories and good photos home. The best businesses to you, I wish.
Dartmoor is an intriguing place. We visited there on our last trip to the UK. I have drawn the cottage there.
The Bishop’s House, Lower Street Chagford. Devon.
We even visited the prison... well outside not in. LOL.
@Silvia: So many places, only two legs!
@Dors: I hope you waved on the way past :) Coincidently, if you went to the prison, then you would have seen the Duchy Centre in the middle of Princetown? I have some work hanging there :)
