Back to the Limestone pavements

[Ken Rennie]

Returned to the same location in Yorkshire as the previous post. If you don't mind this may be a drip feed, one at a time posting. You will also have to wait for the waterfall shots one of which looks very good even if I say so myself. Ken

Love these drip feeds We don't see this sort of terrain much over here. Looking forward to your waterfall.

Agree with Ben - keep the drip feed line open - these are fun to compare. The rolling farmland behind the tree is quite different from what I typically see in the western US.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Great shots, keep em coming!

 

[BarryHamilton]

Love 'em! The glimpses of the rock-walled patch-work fields really brings back memories of the Dales.

 

[JimFox]

Very cool Ken! I sure like that rock pavement. It must be a bit of a pain to walk through I would think?

Both of these are great. I like I may prefer #1 over #2 slightly, I am liking that golden feel in it.

As for the drip, like the others keep on dripping! And I look forward to seeing that waterfall. Don't save that one for Waterfall Wednesday, I think I would like to see that one by itself.

Next drip ;-) The first is golden light on the tree with the sky almost totally blue. Unfortunately the promised sunshine and clouds didn't happen until the last 20 minutes before sunset when the clouds appeared from the West. Weather in the North of England and Scotland more so can change very quickly. The last 2 are taken from the car in darkness, lit by the half moon (f7.1 ISO 1000 30s exposure). The crop shows the trees that I regularly photograph just on the edge of the scar. The limestone pavement starts here and extends back for about 20 miles. Walking on it is difficult as some of the stones are loose and the gaps between the stones can be 5ft deep and breaking legs is always possible. The lights are at a cave entrance (White Scar Cave), they advertise the longest public visitable (is that a word?) cave in England where you can walk for a mile underground of the 4 mile length. I will try and find an image showing the pavement as none posted so far really show the regular structure. Comments welcome Ken definitely not a geologist.

I really dig the first one. Those sideways trees are tenacious!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Love that first, the last two are sort of muddy looking.

 

[Leslie Hunter]

A very interesting series.

 

[Joe Colozzo]

great serries Ken. That landscape looks so beautiful, very different from where I am in the north East US.

 

[Jon Bev]

Windswept would be an understatement here Ken.

The "dynamics" in the first image are excellent! Great comp

Thanks for the new comments. I am returning to this area on Saturday so may get some new images. Off to photograph bugs on this beautiful morning. Ken
