Hound Dogs and Dogs!
View allAll Photos Tagged hound
According to a local legend Hound Tor was created when a pack of hounds were turned to stone.
The 1975 Doctor Who story The Sontaran Experiment was shot on location at Hound Tor.
It is also thought to have inspired a number of artists and writers, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Hound of the Baskervilles.
The tor is popular with rock climbers.

Nugget finally stood still long enough to get a shot of her. She's trying to figure out how to escape taking a bath. She's the dustiest dog I've ever had!
Nugget went on a trip to the old farm and had a great time! She ran and played so hard she was worn out by the end of the day! I thought she was going to try to drink the pond dry! LOL
One of the smaller outcrops at the foot of Hound Tor. There is a sheer endless amount of motifs presented by the granite. Quite popular for rock climbing/bouldering too!
From our circular walk from Hound Tor to Hayne Down and Bowerman's Nose.You gotta love those granite outcrops!

As I was showing Neil around Dartmoor yesterday we ventured up to Rippon Tor first as I'd never walked up it before.
As I was walking up I saw a rainbow slowly moving across the moor and I raced like hell to the top to find a composition. I was a little too late to catch the full rainbow, so I quickly put my 70-200mm lens on and caught the remainder of it as it hit Hound Tor. It's not as sharp as I'd like as it was blowing a hooley up there and I was in a bit of a rush.
We saw a fair few rainbows yesterday and I caught two of them but didn't get a shot of a full one, just partial bits, but it was a fun day of photography

I added two rescue groups at the top of the menu. one of them is jon's
the other is the rescue that provided us with three loving hounds.
no need for comments. I'm practicing on a new polaroid camera.
Taken at our local Young Farmers Country Show. Here they look pretty menacing but were actually very friendly.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #44 "Hounds" this is Georgia, our terrier mix, looking disgusted at having to get the bottom of her paws wet by going out in the wet grass. You can see that it wasn't _that_ wet, but wet pawprints are in evidence off to the left. She hates getting wet, unless it involves playing in the water stream while I'm watering the garden.

I know Zac is not my dog but I can't help taking pictures of him as he is so gorgeous and they are only small for such a short while

Well what can I say? Travelled to Dartmoor with Steve Blackdog and set up here to capture the harvest moon rising from behind this granit outcrop. This was a play with my new Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens, Nine shots landscape and stitched together using Photoshop. Before the moonrise the sky clouded over and we ended driving around desperately looking for a new POV.
Literally seconds before the sun peeped up over the horizon and didn't bathe the tor in the golden light we were hoping for!
Tony & I had managed to drag our carcasses from our pits pre dawn in the hope of getting some magic on Dartmoor and, to be fair, whilst we wanted more this was pretty good. Keepers or not we were winners!
I exposed for the sky here and just brought the land up in post so what you see is pretty much as it was sky wise, a touch on the clarity & dehaze sliders but nothing on saturation, no need.
An adorable Basset Hound outside the café the other day. Had he not been firmly attached to his owner he may have become another friend for Izzy and Rufus!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Hound Tor is on Dartmoor, about three miles north-east of Widecombe in the Moor. It is a good example of a heavily weathered granite outcrop. It is easily accessible, situated within a few minutes from the B3387 between Bovey Tracey and Widecombe-in-the-Moor. The site is administered by Dartmoor National Park Authority for English Heritage as it includes the ruins of a medieval village, Hundatora, alongside prehistoric works of stone construction nearby.
Spotted this leaf doing an impression of a hound dog on a recent autumnal stroll through my local woods, well it's great to spot an image in nature that reminds one of something else entirely, it's called pareidolia, I often see faces in the trunks of trees for instance.
I do hope other people can see my doggy face in my autumnal image today, I spotted him straight away hiding amongst the fallen golden leaves, I love it when that happens.
"Hound dog"
"I'm feeling rough,
may soon be dark,
autumn tis' here,
trees haven't lost their bark,
I knows I'm not real,
merely just a spoof,
but hark! but hark!
I gave a leafy woof".
Original poetry
by Sean.
Love & Peace everyone!
