"Beinn Dorain" in the Bridge of Orchy range, captured from the Loch Tulla Viewpoint. Standing 1076m high, (3530.ft) it is high enough to qualify as a Munro. The river is the River Orchy. It was a beautiful day and I loved the fluffy clouds and the play of light across the scene. Best viewed large I think. Many thanks

Captured at Walfords Gibbet, on the Quantock Hills, Somerset The place name comes from the story of a young man, a charcoal burner named John Walford who was very popular and became engaged to be married to a lady named Ann Rice. A local girl named Jane Shorney however set her sights on John and became pregnant by him. He was arrested and told he must marry Jane or pay for the upkeep of his child. His engagement to Ann was ended and he married Jane. The marriage was soon in trouble and three weeks after the marriage with Jane already pregnant for a second time the couple went to Castle comfort in Donnington with John arriving back home in the early hours on his own. The next day some children spotted some blood coming from below a gate and the body of Jane Walford was found beaten and knifed in what became known as Dead Woman's Ditch. A search of their cottage revealed a bloody knife and John was arrested and sentenced to death. His former fiance came to see him before he was hanged and gave him her forgiveness. John's body was left to hang for 100 days for all to see. I have added a song called 'The Hanging Tree' sung here by Rachel Zegler. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj0yKnXkc-Y Best viewed large I think.

Captured at Lydeard Hill, Somerset. I have not idea what these 'mushrooms' are but I thought they looked quite attractive. They looked almost transluscent in the sunshine. If anyone has an ideas what they might be I would appreciate it. The closest I could come to a 'Fun -ghi' link was this song sung by some pretty well know 'guys' Here is 'Fun, Fun, Fun' by Status Quo and the Beach Boys!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UooD6GN9Gs Best vieweed large I think. Thank you.

We went for a walk and enjoyed the peaceful beauty and Autumn colours, and were delighted to see some wild Quantock ponies. Over the fence is the Vale of Taunton Deane I have added a song by Reba McEntire called 'Just Like Them Horses' www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlD31PpaZNw This is best viewed large I think. Many thanks.

Captured at Lydeard Hill, on the Quantock Hills which became England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). I loved the changing colours and the peaceful setting. Lydeard Hill shows on the map as being 365 metres high. A walk on 'higher ground' with changing colours made me think of this link:- I have therefore added a song called 'Higher Ground' performed by Playing for Change www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hGSqqhhokE Please view large for best effect. Many thanks
