Hello there, welcome to a bank holiday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which is inspired by Friday’s prompt; Out in the country.
My trip out to take pictures yesterday wasn’t very well timed, as the weather was just starting to turn (from the glorious sunshine we were treated to all day Saturday) to grey mist and the threat of rain.
Nevertheless, I managed to capture a lot of verdant greenery on the country lanes outside Barnstaple, as the land rises up towards the edge of Exmoor.












And, as a bonus, here’s an effects-laden video I made from a timelapse of my journey home yesterday.
Now let’s see your countryside views…

To get involved with the challenge; check out the Cosmic Photo Prompt each Friday, then post a photo (or photos) on your blog the following Monday, with a pingback link to my Monday post.
Tag your posts with #CosPhoChal.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages, animation, gifs, or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Thank you, there is something special about a deserted country lane on a Sunday morning (apart from being able to stop the car anywhere and take photos).

Quite so. Beeches are colourful, most year round.
