Thanks!

And that’s precisely why I shot it! Thank you!

That’s very nice of you to say! Ta very much!

A large part of the Yorkshire Dales is comprised of limestone. Limestone kinda dissolves a bit in water and acid rain, so when the water runs through the cracks and joints in the limestone, it can create cool slabs called “clints” separated by deep fissures known as “grikes” or “grykes”.

I am not. I hadn’t heard of it tbh.

Totally. Become a firm favourite of mine when visiting Skye.

You’re exactly. Sunlight was scanning across the moorland, so I had to be quick.

Thanks! This is a single exposure from a 210mm zoomed in composition. I saw the band of light hitting the distant house and moorland, with the Storr in deep shadow due to the storm above, so nabbed it quick as I could.

Thanks very much! Those cliffs are something else.

Yes indeed!

Oh aye, the ruins of Dun Scaich castle. Totally agree, an ancient place; you feel it in your bones.

Ah, your shot is taken from Elgol on the Strathaird peninsula, north of where my image is from (on the Sleat peninsula). Lovely moody conditions! Skye’s beautiful no matter what.

Thanks very much!

Well, thank you very much!

Ah that’s Nethermostcove Beck, which tumbles down the side of Eagle Crag. Thanks!

Thank you!

Ta!

Thanks!

Aye, in all my time living in Cumbria I’d never ventured up the Hoad. Superb views.

I’m in Kendal! Not a hardship to get to bonny Ulverston.
