Deerleap Sunset

Deerleap Sunset – Mendip Hills, Somerset, UK. ID JB1_4526

Up the hill from the deer leap standing stones is a car park and picnic site.  Famous as a location used in the Hot Fuzz film and with panoramic views across Somerset this one of the most popular spots in the Mendip Hills.

After weeks of dry weather a brief period of rain cleared the dust from the sky creating the perfect conditions for a summer sunset.

I had gone up the hill to photograph the sunset over the Lynchcombe nature reserve.  But the clouds had other ideas.  So I trekked back up to the car park just in time to watch the setting sun.
