Every picture on this website is taken from our office garden in Dartmouth in Devon, England
Views of Dartmouth as seen from our office. Living and working from home in Dartmouth, Devon we have an unrivalled vista. Not a day goes by without something of interest happening in front of us. Being a keen photographer I have been taking pictures from this one place for eight years and previously these were displayed on a Facebook page. As it’s our office and it’s in Dartmouth, it’s called The View From The Dartmouth Office. Now I have set up this dedicated website to replace the Facebook page and hopefully promote this lovely town as a place to come and live and work from home. There’s a long old learning curve about building a website, so bear with me as things progress. The site is 4 years old now and I’m still a novice. But if it’s photographs of Dartmouth you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place. Pictures of Kingswear too. The sky, the river, the boats.
Most days produce pictures and so with luck the site will have an update each day adding new scenes. There are now quite a few specialised albums as well as the monthly diary type galleries. Gradually older photos are being added but captioning those takes time. Some of the older photographs already have captions which were done for the Facebook page, but Facebook mysteriously lost a load, so I’ll attempt to recall them or better still improve upon the info and humour.
Use the links at the top of the page to access the other picture albums, or click the pix and links on the right.
All photographs are copyright of Andy Kyle. But if you want to use a pic for a non-commercial website then please do, but please credit and link back to the home page of this site. And an email to say you have done it. No other use permitted without my expressed agreement.
This was not your normal sunrise. See it large in the September album.
Click the pic for lots more photos from September.
Or for a sunrise special, take a look at The Point of Sunrise
And click here for the photos from Regatta and here for August’s pictures.
If you’re a new visitor, take your time and look around. Click any of the big pix to go to the October album or here for January , February, or March and see what’s been happening since the start of the year. Then there are albums of photos for all of 2010 and much of 2009. If you’re looking for the double rainbow, click the pic on the right. But don’t miss the Pick of TVFTDO.com. Go on, guess what it stands for.
TheViewFromTheDartmouthOffice.com is now getting quite a few emails from all around the world from visitors to the site (thus far exceedingly complimentary). Marios wrote: “I believe you have the best office in the world man. It's like watching National Geographic every day, all day.”
Who am I to argue? Ian in Hobart said: “entering the Dart was like gliding into a 3D postcard filled with heritage, history and wall-to-wall nautical magic”
What a fabulous description of this place.
An excellent site that begins with a news page - do subscribe to receive their weekly email round up

Can you believe it ? A couple of unnecessaries out on the river in December. To give them (minimal) credit, they did avoid serious fuel wastage until they were closish to the castles. Strange thing is, despite being 200 yards away I could clearly hear what they were saying (okay, shouting) to each other. It was nothing interesting. But you knew that.
18 months ago, FRoST, the Friends of St Thomas’s church in Kingswear produced a jigsaw from one of TVFTDO’s pictures.
The production run has now sold out and so no more are available. Funds have been raised and everyone is happy. More happy than most are my parents who have finally finished the wretched thing (their words).
It turns out to have been one of the hardest jigsaw’s ever. For a while there I wasn’t the most popular person.
If you click the pic you’ll be taken to the August 2010 album which has got loads of interesting pix including this one.
The boat is the M/Y Black & White.

If you’ve ever wondered what anchored all the buoys to the river bed, wonder no more, here’s your answer: a bloody huge lump of concrete. Mind you, I’m still not clear what anchors the four main buoys, the yellow cans in the centre of the river which somehow manage to hold some of the worlds largest cruise ships in place.

We would rather not have telephone lines all over the place in Above Town. But they can be made to look pretty in the right light.

The lugger Grayhound. What she is doing right over here, underneath us, I cannot explain.
But luckily for just a few seconds, the sun put her under the spotlight.

This was real luck to see - and snap. The buzzard has a snake in its claws. You might want to see the follow-up pic. So just click any pic.

Part of Britain’s engineering heritage - steam engine Bittern departs Kingswear for Banbury. Lots more pix inside, just click this one.

Earlier in the week I said that nothing dramatic had occurred ? I had forgotten all about this - it probably felt a shade dramatic in the cockpit.
It’s a Navy Lynx that did a quick fly-through, with a bit of a “look at me” moment on the way. More pix inside.

It seemed obvious that this chopper was heading to the Golf House.
But maybe the pilot caught sight of someone with a five iron. For whatever reason, the landing was abandoned.
And off they jolly well went.

This fine boat was heading off to France on Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning, they were eating croissants.
