Along the Teign – in black and white – and colour

We walked from Drewsteignton to Chagford on a rare hot, sunny day. I was being introduced to the walk – “It’s a great walk. Not too difficult.” It is and it wasn’t.

I took the camera with no particular plan in mind and immediately picked up on Peter Randall-Page’s work which had been placed in natural settings  . . .

For a while, the path followed alongside the river, which was forming patterns of its own . . .

Colour creates a different perspective – a fresh ‘reality’ . . .
