This photo was taken near Devil's Dyke, just outside Brighton. It's an amazing area with fantastic views across the South Downs. Devil's Dyke itself is a V-shaped valley formed by river erosion after the Ice Age melt down.
Wiki explains one of the reasons it might have been called 'Devil's Dyke':
Local folklore explains the valley as the work of the devil. The legend holds that the devil was digging a trench to allow the sea to flood the many churches in the Weald of Sussex. The digging disturbed an old woman who lit a candle, causing a rooster to crow, making the devil believe the morning was fast approaching. The devil then fled, leaving his trench uncompleted.Here's Georgie, our Golden Retriever, enjoying the incredible space on Devil's Dyke.

The country roads around Devil's Dyke have wonderful views although there's not much space to stop your car. Everyone drives quite fast as well, so I risked life and limb for this shot! I've always admired this line of trees and thought I'd get a photo.
