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 album of the month. Then there are albums of photos for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and much of 2009. If you’re looking for double rainbows, click here. But don’t miss the Pick of TVFTDO.com. Go on, guess what TVFTDO stands for.
TheViewFromTheDartmouthOffice.com gets 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 marvelous place.

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.
THE VIEW FROM THE DARTMOUTH OFFICE
Every picture on this website, with no exception, is taken from one place - our Dartmouth office garden

Two superyachts, a major sea rescue and all sorts of fun.
Just an ordinary August in Dartmouth.
And every photo is taken from one spot - our garden in Above Town.
Up to date info from the people wot know.
Chatty, informative and very current.

Summer in Dartmouth. A great place for a childhood.

At last some unnecessaries with a proper use.
These RNLI Lifeguards are running in the three brand new Jetskis before they are deployed at Teignmouth and Dawlish.

The first flypast was from two RAF Tocanos. The crewmember of one seems to be snapping with his phone.
16 August 2018 11:26:16 AM
Passing out parade brought two flypasts. This was the second, a Merlin with two observers checking out the rear view.

As Marlene Deitrich once said...”I vant to be a lawn” And in this case, I want, gets.

Buzzards don’t appear to be too popular with anyone. Even other buzzards.

Archimedes in daylight (obviously). Archimedes in nightlight (equally obviously)
Perhaps if they have underwater lights they might like to turn them on this evening (Friday)

The rather sleek superyacht Archimedes arrived early Thursday. Owned by US philanthropist James Harris Simons.
He is worth looking up. There’s a reason why he named his ship so.

A yachting family got a bit of a shock when the Navy came for shooting practise.
Mind you, what appeared to be the daughter of the family didn’t bat an eye. Texting continued as normal.

And at the start of the month, we had superyacht Arcadia pop in and out (a few times). That’s the RNLI testing out their B-Class vessel in the left.

There’s loads of them in the river. But always good to see right in front of us. Sammy the Seal.

The Search and Rescue Sikorsky helicopter landed in Coronation Park to pick up their crewman.
That’s grass being blown up all around. Apparently it’s a lot less bovver with a hover.

For all you extractor fans out there. Get a load of the JD towing a tracked Fordson.

A well coordinated sea rescue ended with this fisherman being taken off to hospital he had suddenly becoming ill on board a trawler some five miles out. The Dart ILB was joined by the Search and Rescue helicopter and both crews gave him medical care until their arrival in Kingswear.
Loads more pix of this and dozens of other scenes inside the August album. Just click any pic.
