A photograph of Windy Post Cross on Dartmoor in Devon, England, shown in black and white. The image features the historic stone cross standing tall against the moorland, with a stream flowing over rocks in the foreground, captured in a long exposure that makes the water appear smooth and flowing. The scene conveys a sense of calm and timelessness, with the cross firmly rooted in the rugged landscape.
