The Hoe, Plymouth, Devon

A summer time image of Plymouth Hoe and a wildflower bank in full bloom. Sat on the sloping bank on the Hoe admiring the view I thought how beautiful the uncut bank of wildflower looked. So I grabbed my camera, and composed this shot to inclthe wildflowers in the foreground and Smeatons tower, the iconic landmark of Plymouth, in the background.

Devon really is such a lovely place. The sunsets in Brixham are often some of the best in the bay...

The Hoe, Plymouth, Devon .
I wanted to capture the new art installation on the breakwater at Mount Batten. I thought it fitting to capture it alongside the iconic Smeaton's Tower. I headed up to the Hoe and waited for golden hour. I took this image including both subjects in my shot. I like the final image but would have loved a little cloud cover to add a little more interest to the sky.
A large-scale art installation titled 'Speedwell' has temporarily transformed the Mount Batten Breakwater into a public forum for discussion and debate. It inspires discussion about the impact and legacy of the Mayflower ship's journey, colonialism and the ecological state of our planet during the Mayflower 400 commemorations.
Created by local artist collective Still/Moving, 'Speedwell' was funded by Arts Council England and Plymouth Culture as part of Mayflower 400. Measuring 63m long and 6m high, 'Speedwell' will use illuminated signage comprising 3,723 LED lights to invite viewers to ask complex questions about themselves, the damaged planet and the legacy of the pivotal journeys made by the Mayflower and its companion ship the Speedwell. It offers multiple readings; constantly shifting between words that are lit up and questioning the historic conceit that there ever was a 'New World'.
Arlington Court is a neoclassical style country house built 1820-23,[1] situated in the parish of Arlington, next to the parish church of St James, 5 1/4 miles NE of Barnstaple, north Devon, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. The park and gardens are Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[2]
The house was commissioned by Colonel John Palmer Chichester (1769-1823) to the design of the North Devon architect Thomas Lee, replacing the earlier Georgian house of about 1790, built on a different site and demolished, designed by John Meadows.[3] Arlington Court was considerably expanded in 1865 by John Palmer Chichester's grandson, Sir Alexander Palmer Bruce Chichester, 2nd Baronet (1842-1881), son of Sir John Palmer Bruce Chichester, 1st Baronet (d.1851). In 1873 according to the Return of Owners of Land, 1873 the Arlington estate comprised about 5,300 acres.[4]
Sir Bruce's unmarried daughter and heiress, Rosalie Chichester (d. 1949), donated the mansion to the National Trust together with 3,500 acres (14 km2) two years before her death in 1949.
Today, the house, together with the Chichester family's collection of antique furniture and an eclectic collection of family memorabilia, is fully open to the public. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_Court

The Hoe, Plymouth, Devon
.
After not having the opportunity together out with my camera at sunset for a while, when the chance came during the week, I took it. Arriving on the Hoe the cloud cover was quite dense and not welcoming of a great sunset. However as the evening drew on, the light improved and the cloud became more whispy. I took this image as Smeaton's tower was bathed in warm sunlight. .

Lynton, North Devon, England, UK.
I am currently working for the Countrywide Great Tour, a 64 day cycling challenge around the coastline of the entire UK. I will try and post daily photos as we travel. More information can be found below.
This was taken on Day 52 as the riders took on the hills around Lynton in North Devon where Wild Goats still roam.

This Babcock & Wilcox six ton road roller was built in 1926. The firm of Babcock & Wilcox was a large industrial engineering company with many interests. The company took over and subsequently closed or sold off many firms. The main business was process plant and boilers. Today as Babcock International, the successor to the original Babcock and Wilcox Company is a company engaged in the design, engineering, manufacture, service and construction of power generation and pollution control systems and equipment for utilities and industries. The Parent group is an American corporation, with a British arm, and several other overseas subsidiaries.
Behind is a Romany caravan or vardo (also known as living wagon, van, and caravan) which was a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by British Romanichal Travellers as their home. The vehicle is typically highly decorated, intricately carved, brightly painted, and even gilded. The Romanichal Traveller (Gypsy) tradition of the vardo is seen as a high cultural point of both artistic design and a masterpiece of woodcrafter's art. The heyday of the caravan lasted for roughly 70 years, from the mid-1800s through the first two decades of the twentieth century. Not used for year-round living today, they are shown at the cultural gatherings held throughout the year, the best known of which is Appleby Horse Fair.
This exhibit was in Bicton Countryside Museum which is located within the 63 acre (25.5ha) of the world famous Bicton Park Botanical Gardens. The museum’s origins date from the mid 1950’s when post-war Britain was undergoing immense social, economic and industrial change. Even in rural Devon the effects were being felt, particularly in agriculture, where mechanisation and the need for greater productivity and efficiency was threatening an end to horse power and manual labour.
