Sunset over the Roman Gate, Hogmoor Inclosure
Fuggletim posted a gallery image in Sunsets, sunrises, clouds and the sky
The "Roman Gate" is one of the three named entrances to the Hogmoor Inclosure (the other two being the Gilbert White Gate and the Railway Gate). They reflect the local history of the area. Facing west, it is a good spot for a sunset picture from the Roman Gate.© Tim Penycate

A well known native English wild flower, which although poisonous to touch the flowers (the inside particularly) is still very pretty!

With lockdown partially still in place in the UK, one of the Hogmoor Inclosure "Sentinels" looks at the moon for inspiration when it will all end, and life return to normal.© Tim Penycate

Sunset in the Hogmoor Inclosure, looking to the North West

Although the Sunset is obviously brighter towards the west, the light the setting sun casts to the North West still makes for a beautiful skyscape.© Tim Penycate

The Hogmoor Inclosure is a large area of heathland in Whitehill/Bordon, Hampshire. The sentinels are wooden carvings which have been placed strategically to "guard" the Inclosure!

From the album: The statues: Hogmoor Inclosure photos
The view from another of my favourite perches in the Hogmoor Inclosure - this one from a seat overlooking a small clearing in the nature reserve, just in from the Hogmoor Road at the Southern end of the Inclosure. I was just sitting there enjoying an unusually quiet period when the weather was quite overcast with a cool breeze, so not many people about... The sun came out suddenly and very briefly, transforming the view into an irresistible shot! -

A lonely, naked man standing on his perch in one of the few permanent ponds in the Hogmoor Inclosure. Most of the other ones - (the ponds, that is!) - seem to dry out when we get an extended dry spell; (which is not really surprising since the underlying soil is just about all sand and sandstone...) The wooden statues were, apparently, created by sculptor David Lloyd. More on this, here: https://www.princephilippark.co.uk/wb-story/public-art/ -

A kaleidoscope of colour! An old sandstone embankment where, after years of Army tanks driving past on their training missions, a deep passage has been carved through some slightly elevated ground. I find the sheer variety of mosses and lichens that now cover these banks to be absolutely fascinating - especially when you look at them in close-up detail. The Hogmoor Enclosure nature reserve in Hampshire, South of England. -

An old tank track in the Hogmoor Inclosure, now rapidly being reclaimed by nature and turning into a quiet and peaceful path through the woods. -

I am not an expert on British wildlife but this looks to me, like an entrance hole to one of the famous badger setts in the Hogmoor Inclosure? -

A bit of exposed sandstone alongside one of the old Tank Driver training circuits in the Hogmoor Inclosure nature reserve. This used to be a busy military training ground but in recent years, the Army moved out and the area was turned into a public recreation space. The "nature" was always here - it's just a bit quieter these days without the Army tanks... -

I love the looking at the different colours and textures of the exposed sandstone alongside some of the old tank driver training circuits in the Hogmoor Inclosure nature reserve. -

As a friendly passer-by said to me whilst I was sitting on that bench enjoying the early summer's evening sunshine: "You've got the perfect spot there Mate!" And very nice it was too. The photo was taken in the vicinity of the radio mast at the Southern end of the Hogmoor Inclosure.

The man in the woods: Wooden statue of a naked man in the Hogmoor Inclosure

Well, in fairness, I have seen enough of his backside whilst sitting at my favourite "perfect spot" bench, up near the radio mast at the Southern end of the Hogmoor Inclosure... So here's a photo of his front end, just for a change of scene!! More information on the Hogmoor Inclosure can be found here: https://www.princephilippark.co.uk/community/spaces/hogmoor-inclosure/ -

All that remains of an old burnt-out car at the Hogmoor Inclosure. It's hard to imagine that these rusted remnants are all that's left of what was long ago someone's pride and joy. Years ago, when the Inclosure was used by the army as a tank driver training ground, it was quite common for old or stolen cars to meet their end in a ball of fire here. Thankfully, the inclosure has now been fenced-off. So there are no more noisy motorbikes careering around the place - and no more burning cars! The inclosure is now a nature reserve which is enjoyed by many walkers; their dogs; joggers and cyclists.

Well... What can I say?!! This fellow's backside kind of stares you in the face when you sit on the "perfect spot" bench in the Hogmoor Inclosure, Whitehill, Hampshire in the South of England. This particular wooden statue - or sculpture, if you prefer - was photographed looking towards a dried-up pond in the vicinity of the radio mast at the Southern end of the Inclosure.

All quiet now! Nature rapidly reclaiming an old tank trackway

From the album: The statues: Hogmoor Inclosure photos
One of the old trackways in the Hogmoor Inclosure, which the British Army once used to train military tank drivers - now a local nature reserve. These trackways used to be gloriously full of deep, water-filled ruts and the sound of the mighty army tanks rumbling by. It's only a few short years since the Army pulled out of the Inclosure but all of the old tank driver training routes are rapidly returning to nature.
