Autumn Tints, Donnington

This is a view from ‘Donnington Tump’ - the highest point in Donnington, and one of the ‘British Camp’ sites lined up across Herefordshire - an Iron Age Hill Fort called ‘Haffield’. Herefordshire Beacon (another one) can be seen in the far distance. Surprisingly, the more obvious hump in the middle distance doesn't appear to have been the site of ancient fortifications of any kind, and isn't even named on OS Maps.

The summer of 2003 had been very dry and the autumn tints were wonderful.

The very handsome Springer Spaniel in the foreground is named ‘Poppy’.
