Starting off a short series nominating Favourite Places. Feel free to add your own nomination in the comments or send it in as a post, with or without photo.
Here's one of mine: Shaugh Prior Woods in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor. If you like a nice river running through some beautiful woods, this is one of the best. In fact you get two rivers here, because this is where the River Meavy joins up with the River Plym, with much splashing over rocks and stones, before the Plym makes its way south towards Plymouth. Being in the West Country it's frequently raining, but still a fine place for a walk.

What a beautiful place. Has all the elements for a delightful walk. The woods seem quite satisfyingly tulgy.
It is indeed, Mimi, with a canopy of leaves, and plenty of drips down the neck when it's raining.
Oh, but it's such a lovely, nice rain (yes, I know it's not actually raining in the picture).
I will nominate my own Place later; must give the matter due thought.
Hi zeph, I was looking for a shot of a series of brick arches in a park close to me in Sydney but my search attributes came up with a google image which is really powerful and, by coincidence, is also in Devon:

I love this photo and all the words it holds.
Come to think about it - it *is* the pictorial equivalent of Tyrannosaurus Alan's poetry - I'm in awe
Met any druids there, Zeph?
It is powerful, Para, though a bit brutal maybe?
Perhaps you'd like this house, which is also under the M5 motorway?
No druids so far, Offie. But of course, the ones with special powers are very good at hiding among the trees...
Or under mossy stones...
There are a lot of etymological interpretations of the word "druid", but I've never heard anyone connect it to the gaelic for "bridge", which is "drohid".
As in a link between two worlds, which is what your picture made me think of. Lovely place, I wouldn't mind a walk.
very lovely, and no snow
Sounding post: It is under the bridge, right after Finger board. The main function of it is to support the pressure of the inner violin. So the tune will be delivered in a melodious way. La Rejouissance Although the violin is an instrument used extensively in classical music, electric violins are generally employed by classical performers only in the performance of contemporary classical music. The electric violin is more frequently used by non-classical musicians in popular genres such as metal, rock, hip hop, pop, jazz/jazz-fusion, country, New Age, and experimental music. Famous electric violinists include Jean-Luc Ponty, Mat Maneri, Jerald Daemyon, David LaFlamme, Darryl Way, Jerry Goodman, David Cross, Eddie Jobson, Nash the Slash of FM, David Ragsdale and Robby Steinhardt of Kansas , Simon House of Hawkwind, Mark Wood, and Boyd Tinsley of the Dave Matthews Band. It is used extensively in folk rock; one prominent exponent in the area being Dave Swarbrick. Folk metal band Turisas also puts a lot of emphasis on the electric violin in their compositions. Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani also focuses in Henri Sorvali electric violin parts. It has also found its way into modern musical theater, a recent example being Whistle Down the Wind by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Several popular bands that use the electric violin are Zox, Operator Please and pop punk band Yellowcard. Classically-trained violinist Emilie Autumn has also made extensive use of the electric violin, particularly on her instrumental Laced/Unlaced album. Another area in which a traditional usage of the violin has been once again popularized in modern music is in the area of the Irish fiddle. The fiddle is quite prominently featured in such bands as the Celtic punk bands Flogging Molly, and The Levellers. rothenburg violin 4 4 violin sheet music for the climb violine noten anf�nger violin tuning sounds
