Just a couple of my favourites, taken on infra-red film with an old Retinette folding camera about 20 years ago, so I may fall foul of the admin 'cos they weren't taken with a 6Mp Pentax

Vixen Tor, which just happened to be perfectly lit as we passed, and a burnt-out church which you may be able to name for me as I didn't make a note at the time.

Ah, that's a wonderful photograph of Vixen Tor. It looks like you were there before the nasty old woman who owns the land decided to wall it off from us peasants, causing a legal battle over public rights-of-way that drags on and on interminably. And I think the church in the second photo might be the ruins of Holy Trinity in Buckfastleigh, a very atmospheric place. Thank you for sharing those, you've made my day.

As I remember there were two sides to the wall

but maybe there's a bigger one since ... the land got boggy so I didn't venture any closer! Thanks for the identification of the church, a quick internet search confirms that to be the one

Sunset comes and goes quite quickly at this time of year. This happened last evening ... it was come and gone within five minutes!

I could swear that's Plymouth Sound. But where in Plymouth could you take a shot with a 35mm that makes the breakwater look so close? Somewhere around Prince Rock or Cattedown?

I've suddenly remembered that a forum member in Plymouth suggested meeting up a while ago, but my health situation was so chaotic at the time that I don't think I ever replied.

If that was you, please accept my apology. It would be great to meet up when this slightly bumpy phase is over and I've got things back on a more even keel again.

I've been teaching myself Darktable and going back through old photos taken with my wonderful K100D. Almost always paired back in the day with a M42-adapted Super Takumar 55mm F2.0. Great lens. Here's a flower I found from 2007:
