Weekly Photo Challenge: Adventure!
Sniffing the air, straining at the leash, it seems like dogs are always up for adventure. At the top of Glastonbury Tor, enlivened by altitude and far-reaching views everyone was high on excitement, and this being Glastonbury, probably banned substances as well:
The source of the excitement and sense of adventure was the over-abundance of fresh air and dramatic skies to the west:
And for those who might be concerned about the fate of the ‘corpse’ in the previous post, rest-assured, he made a complete recovery and is once again ready for adventure:

What amazing light, you captured some great portraits there on the top of the Tor 🙂
Thanks Seonaid – we picked just the right time of day – made it just in time with that last 500 yard dash 😉
Brilliant. Just love the doggy ones, especially!
Thanks so much – it helped being down at their level 🙂
Thanks for that tip!
I wish I could take such great photos :o) (I’m afraid my camera laughs at me always when I use it lol)
Sneer back and teach it a lesson, might just do the trick 🙂
The last one is the best. Great light on the subject, boots and all!
Many thanks Cate – he is a bit of star isn’t he. Not sure if those are biker boots or wellington boots – either way, not the weather for them 🙂
Very interesting shot!
Many thanks Rajiv
Excellent photos! I just finished rereading a Deborah Crombie book that takes place in Glastonbury and partly on the Tor. Ironic.

That’s a neat bit of synchronicity – which book was it Janet?
A Finer End. I love her books, so I recommend any of them, but this is the one about Glastonbury and the Tor.
Thanks Janet, I will add that to the reading list.
Fine set, Robin. Always weird, someone standing on the horizon.
Many thanks Harrie – it is weird – I must lie on the floor more often 🙂
Love these shots, Robin – the surreal or rather hyper-real atmosphere. Got me thinking of Alan Garner again.
Many thanks Tish, it must be the high ground in an otherwise flat landscape. I guess the Wrekin is much the same. Alderley is not much like Glastonbury though 🙂
Great portraits of dogs and people! Love the 1st one with the owner leaning back as the dog strains on that leash 😉 And a magical skyscape too!
Many thanks Sarah – that owner leaning back is a cheat but tell no one 😉
Ha ha ha ha! Looked natural 😉
#2. Excellent.
Many thanks Graham
Lovely post – the lighting is wonderful.
Many thanks Tina – we arrived just at the right time of day – for once, in the right place at the right time 🙂
Magical photos from a magical place.
Many thanks Julie – it was a trip for Pam who loved it all – I was more excited by this: http://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/ 🙂
This is a great series of images Robin-especially of the dogs (no surprise there) and I love the light and clouds image-very dramatic!
Many thanks Meg – I genuinely thought of your images when I was producing these, particularly the second one. All the best, R
