A view down to the south coast of Devon from Brentor on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Plymouth Sound on the horizon gleams in the sun, while the sun lights up fields with a few livestock dotted around trees and hedgerows dividing the fields. A road curves up past the fields.Jars of apple jelly, golden in colour, lit by sunlight from behind. The jelly is flecked with mint.A dairy cow grazes in a field as the sun sets in the background.A line of trees seen in silhouette on a grey cloudy day, the hills of Dartmoor in the background.Devil's fingers fungus (Clathrus archeri) in grassland in Dartmoor, Devon.
