I chose a sunny winter afternoon for a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire near Bradford in West Yorkshire with a nice reflection of the New Mill in the River Aire at dusk in mind. Saltaire is a model village built in 1851 by Sir Titus Salt, an industrialist in the Yorkshire […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Ribblehead in Winter
Here’s the latest in the Last Week’s Shoot series that I would have posted last week if I’d not been caught up in the Great Copyright Infringement Debacle instead! I picked a day with a rather chilly, but sunny weather forecast – though with the lowest windspeed of the week which made walking around Ribblehead […]
The Great Copyright Infringement Debacle
I grew up in the brewing town of Tadcaster in North Yorkshire and was therefore greatly saddened by the damage to the fine old bridge over the River Wharfe caused by the recent flooding which hit the national news. I’ve therefore been following related stories about Tadcaster quite closely recently and was pleased to see […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Hull Pot
I’m now just about up to date on my image processing, so here’s another “Last Week’s Shoot” post on a visit to Hull Pot below the slopes of Pen-Y-Ghent in Ribblesdale (actually the week before last, but near enough!). From Horton-in-Ribblesdale station I walked down into the village and picked up the Pennine Way, following […]
A Woolly Walk from Wooler
After my second visit to the Simonside Hills on my summer trip to Northumberland I wanted to get back and explore more of the National Park, this time heading further north to the village of Wooler, a good base for exploring the area around The Cheviot. I set out along the lane from Wooler through […]
Simonside Hills Revisited
I really enjoyed the walk over the Simonside Hills from Rothbury earlier in the summer, and had noted at the time that the heather would look great in August, so on my return to Northumberland for a week’s holiday at the end of August I made a point of doing the walk again. This time […]
A Walk Around Ribblehead
I’m progressing steadily with the processing backlog and am looking at images from a couple of trips to Ribblehead in the rugged three peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales at the moment. It’s a great place to explore by train, with Ribblehead station being just a short walk from the impressive Victorian viaduct striding across […]
A Walk Around Dentdale
I’m still catching up on the processing from July, so here are a few images from the walk around the upper part of Dentdale in the middle of the month. I’d gone mainly with getting some shots of the Artengill and Dent Head viaducts in mind and thought they’d look best from the hillside above […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Simonside Hills
As predicted, I’ve still been working through the backlog of images from my recent visit to Northumberland this week, so this week’s Last Week’s Shoot is actually a Last Month’s Shoot! This was probably the highlight of the trip – a walk from Rothbury over the Simonside Hills and back. I headed out of Rothbury […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Amble Harbour
I had a few days in Northumberland last week, and the week before, taking in Amble by the Sea, Alnwick and the lovely Simonside Hills near Rothbury, and I think there may need to be some upcoming “Last Month’s Shoot” posts as I’m only just getting round to processing the images! However, I’ve done a […]
