Very disappointing to see - it takes up time & money to deal with fly tipping like this.

New Years Eve on #exmoor, #devon.. Me and Harvey enjoying the cold sun with the #exmoorponies at Farley Water. @exmoornp.bsky.social , @exmoor.bsky.social #photography #rescuedog #walking
A view of exmoor in Devon showing open, hilly moorland, with an exmoor pony in the background and a standing stone circle in the foreground. The low winter sun is shining almost horizontal across the vista. A view of an exmoor combe in open moorland. The foliage is thicker on the right side of the river. The track we are taking winds along the left side of the picture down the hill to the river. My dog, Harvey is sat patiently waiting for me on the track. We are looking into the sun and there's some lens flare. Harvey takes a drink in the river as the cameraperson looks across a ford (into the sun, again) at the valley we are crossing thick with rocks, trees and foliage We're looking through the long grass on top of an exmoor hill. An Exmoor Pony appears to have long blonde hair and a strikingly differently coloured coat (normal exmoor pony dark brown). It is chewing the pale grass in its mouth. The sun is shining on one side of its face.
