#Exmoor

Yesterday, we went on a #walking trip in #Exmoor, which is in #Somerset, despite the name. I had been planning a round #walk from #Dulverton to the #TarrSteps since last summer and this #BankHoliday weekend is a good time to have it as the weather is better, though not too hot, the days are longer, and there's a spare day for recovery. My wife used a #pedometer app to record the journey and it clocked in at 24.2 km and she recorded nearly 36,000 steps in eight hours, including breaks.

Route taken from Dulverton to the Tarr Steps and back in Exmoor.

Alone in my wellies, slogging through sheep pastures and, let’s face it, sheep poop, soaking in the golden light and Exmoor’s breathtaking landscapes, watching life unfold around me – it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. Light, landscape, animals, weather, mood, and me – everything clicked in perfect harmony.

It’s been just three years, but the memory is already fading, morphing into a memory of a memory. And even if the original memory were still vivid, it would have been distorted and modified by the brain through repeated recollection. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I don’t have a photographic memory. But, and this is the point, I have my pictures. They may only be a thin slice of reality, but they serve as a mental trigger to rekindle the memory or even create new ones.

This is a square-format photograph framed by a white border, presented in warm and cool tones. The image depicts a pastoral landscape at dusk, with golden sunlight illuminating a grassy hillside. In the foreground, a group of sheep graze calmly on the darker lower slope. Above them, on a ridge bathed in warm orange light, stands a lone stag with antlers silhouetted against a dramatic sky. The sky transitions from deep blue on the left to soft orange and pink hues on the right.

I'm trying to convey the mood I felt that autumn on this road in Exmoor, which is difficult with such beautiful light and vibrant autumn colors. I tried to apply my favorite 1:1 crop, but it didn't work here. I feel that both rows of trees need to be visible, so 16:9 it is. I usually prefer square format because it makes composing so much easier for me. Sometimes I even find 3:2 too elongated, especially in portrait orientation. 4:3 feels a bit more balanced to me. But here, it just has to be more panoramic.

A damp road curving to the left, flanked on both sides by trees with late autumn foliage. The sky is barely visible through the leaves. Light filters through the leaves onto the moss-covered tree trunks and roots.
