Up Great Mis Tor, Rogue One and the Last Dragonslayer

[bunn]

A couple of days ago, we decided on a Dartmoor walk.  We went, randomly, to Princetown, which is the town in the middle of Dartmoor with the monstrous prison.  But it turned out that a very large number of the people of Devon had also gone to Princetown for a walk, and it was humming.  Also, because Princetown is right in the middle, you can't just

What stunning landscapes! The dogs are looking particularly elegant in these shots. It's hard to choose a favorite, but I think the second from the bottom.

It's very hard not to go on just photographing and photographing on Dartmoor when the light is so good. The art is not to blunder into a bog and be lost forever while doing it!

If that's the 29th I was out in the Cheviots with no one around, and much the same kind of weather - it was lovely.

I love the layers of landscape in the photos - and Brythen determinedly deserting you!

Happy New Year :)

I thiiiink it was the 29th, yes - though I always have problems counting days between Christmas and New year!

I keep meaning to do a longer Dartmoor walk at some point and go away from the roads and the hordes that pour along them. Probably have to not take Pp though, he is not a long walker. The dogs would like it though!

Fabulous landscapes! I love that shot of dogs gazing heroically over the wide sweep of emptiness... and it all seems nicely collie-free.

Same here with the all the usual walks being absolutely heaving. I would have liked to take Max down to the coast, but I'm not sure I can face the crowds...

It was relaxingly collie-free. A few fat labs waddling with their families near the roads, but nothing else. I think the presence of sheep, even few and distant, may help in the collie-deterrent department!

Lovely photos. I found Rogue One very interesting to watch as having seen it mentioned that it slots in before Star Wars I had an inkling of what was supposedly going on and just watched what happened. I did find it very hard at the end when I considered what a shite life Jyn has had. That last line about hope had me in tears though given the recent news.

It was indeed a very sad ending - I felt a little for whoever CGI'd that last scene too, which no doubt was seen as perhaps less crucial than the CGI Tarkin when they were filming, but of course became such an emotional focus given the timing.

I thought it got better as it went along, which is the right way around - you don't want a movie to get more boring as you get towards the end, do you!
