Super image, Stephen.

Captured the following images on a leisurely trip back from a meeting in Wensleydale (Yorkshire) yesterday ... sun and mist and magnificent scenery ... a heady mix!

Stephen, that's an intriguing image - what tree is it?


Cliff, wonderful moody images of the Yorkshire landscape :)

WENSLEYDALE & WHARFEDALE

Fantastic images Cliff... had to call my wife over (she sits at her own computer about 2 meters away from me) to come see these photos; the countryside looks amazingly beautiful and serene.  Is Wensleydale the namesake for Wensleydale cheese, one of Wallace and Gromit's favorite cheese varieties?

It certainly is, Mark ... Wensleydale is famous for cheese, hills and dales, historic villages, traditional markets and blissful tranquility.  Aysgarth Falls and England's highest single drop waterfall; Hardrow Force are prominent landmarks.  Towns and villages of note are Hawes, Leyburn, Bainbridge and West Witton.
So glad you enjoyed the images and please apologise to Mrs. McMark for disturbing her peace!

Magnificent images Cliff. Been twice in the Dales for just a few days, but never managed to make some pictures like these ::)
Well, I hope that is just because you know the area much better, otherwise I better stop making landscape pictures ;D ;D ;D

When I'm able to convince my wife to journey all of 2 meters over to my computer screen, what I show better be DARNED GOOD >:(; luckily she was duly impressed.  By the way your Yorkshire Eight has the most striking & compelling sight lines, finely composed views.

Wonderful shots, Clifford!

It's art  ;) Should have made a puzzle of it!  Here are a few more. The first one is a zoom out on the first one I posted! The artist's name is Janet Schooley and the chair was £280 - a lot of work went into that!

Many thanks folks! (I haven't been called Clifford since the last time I had to see the headmaster!  ;D

Another batch from Wensleydale & Wharfedale - all taken yesterday.

Luckily Sue was driving, so I just shouted; "Stop please" - leapt out and focused before a car came up behind.   :D

Ah!!! Such fond memories you have brought back to us Cliff. Sherba absolutely fell in love with Yorkshire when she was in England. She even watches "Last of the Summer Wine" for nostalgia's sake. We stayed in Wensleydale one year after the Harrogate show. Personally, I prefer Cheddar (the cheese, not the gorge).
Thanks for sharing the terrific photos.
Now have you got any shots of rainy Manchester to satisfy my home-sickness  ;D ;D
