When I was dragged (not as reluctantly as I pretended) on walks as a child by my parents, I often amused myself by going off into my own fantasy world: I'd look at derelict buildings and imagine the banshees and spectres who lived in there, wander off into trees and do battle with the dinosaurs and quarter-wolf creatures of my imagination.
The first time I took my children to Devon, before we moved there from near Cambridge, they were pretty tiny. 2,4,6 I think. We spent a week on Dartmoor and its surrounds and being August, in the glorious southwest, obviously it rained solidly for 5 days and nights. On the final day we went to Ness Cove at Shaldon, down through the old smugglers tunnel. On the way through the sun miraculously appeared and as my eldest daughter stepped out into the sunshine, looking over the beach, she turned to me and said “was the tunnel to a different country?” very sincerely 😂😂😂. Happy times.
Pretty amazing what you’ve done with a phone camera. They’re all great, but since people are listing their favorites, mine are Mixed Day Out At The Intestine Chimney, Psychedelic Troll River, and Green Lane To Heaven.
Interdimensional portals are not usually so abundant or obvious here in Massachusetts. Your inclusion of some less obvious ones will help me spot more of them.
Wow! Some if those trees ares so OLD. And the clapper bridge . . .! When I visited UK in 2016 we were taken up Bredin Hill. Half way, just off the path and down a slippery slope are the King and Queen stones. We did the usual (ancient) thing and squeezed between them. What a thrill, having lived all my life in New Zealand where these human altered landmarks don't exist, or if they do they are rock drawings maybe 500 years old. There are one or two trees remaining that are very big and old (Tane Mahuta is one) but nowhere near as gnarly. Our portals are more natural elements to a different dimension (Lord of the Rings features many)
What a wonderful collection. They could make a fabulous set of prints; black and white would be my choice but it’s not for everyone.

Wonderful! #3 looks like something that might have inspired Tolkien’s Ents!
These are fantastic!! It takes a keen eye to spot an interdimensional portal. Frog mouth is my fave!!
Same!

This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you
Thanks Cat!
These are great! My favourite was the spectacles!
All magnificent images! I will revisit them often. Great inspiration for stories, or just a great way to relax into fantasy worlds.
Thank you.

Oh do I love this!
I love all of these so much, 10/10 would walk through each.
These are incredible pictures. And their titles cracked me up. I loved all the tree ones, especially "frog mouth."
The land of leaping dogs seems like a fun place to portal into.
Love these, Tom! Would make a wonderful set of prints 😊
Thanks Sue!
I love this collection. 7, 12 and 18 are my favourites. I think I would be too scared to enter number 8 though.
