Blazing Saddle's - HDR Photo

The granite rocks of Saddle Tor picking up the fiery glow of an autumnal sunset on Dartmoor National Park - looking 'west north west' over Holwell Down.

The large quartz crystals in the granite here scatter the light in a way that appears to make them glow, during the golden hours.
