I rarely visit Plymouth – even though it is so close to Dartmoor – in fact I’m more used to viewing the ships in Plymouth Sound from afar – from the area around Sheepstor.   I’m too much of a country mouse for the big city!

Up close – Plymouth is as monumental as the great Tor itself – 

Monumental Plymouth. (‘image’ can be enlarged by clicking on it!)

although some just can’t tear themselves away from their mobile phones no matter what the wider picture! 

I was snapping a shot of Plymouth’s iconic Smeeton’s Tower down on the Hoe – and they just happened to be in the foreground.
