Rushy Pond - Egdon Heath February 6th

February sunset - Rushy Pond - Egdon Heath - Thorncombe Wood - Dorset

'"The untameable, Ishmaelitish thing that Egdon now was it had always been. Civilization was its enemy: and ever since the beginning of vegetation its soil had worn the same antique brown dress, the natural and invariable garment of the particular formation. . . . The great inviolate place had an ancient permanence which the sea cannot claim."

Thomas Hardy, 'Return of the Native'
