April’s photography finished with a chance visit to the white tower or Haldon Belvedere, a grade ii-listed folly sitting high on the Haldon Hills. Built in 1788 it offers spectacular panoramic views of Dartmoor, Exeter and the River Exe but I particularly liked the view of the castle from the entrance path framed by the trees:
Toward the end of April, a few windy days brought white-capped waves to shore. This contrasted with the benign conditions of the previous weeks. Here are some scenes from both Teignmouth and Dawlish:
Two viewpoints of the River Teign. The first is from Shaldon Bridge looking towards Newton Abbot with Dartmoor in the background. The second is from the beautiful botanical gardens in Shaldon offering a panoramic view of Teignmouth.
Perched high on the cliffs, Labrador Bay offers stunning views of Lyme Bay. The glorious sunny conditions on this occasion revealed the vibrant spring colours, creating ideal conditions for photography.
