There's not enough words to describe how beautiful I find the Yorkshire Dales (okay, I'm a Lancashire man, so that's almost treason, but we'll gloss over that).

They're so desolate and yet full of life, scruffy and yet elegant. Just when you think there's nothing bug scrubby long grass and mossy hillocks all around you you find something like this, which is about as close to idyllic as you can get.

Taken from Ribblehead station. I wanted to get this shot a couple of days ago, when I took this one, but the clouds were too uniform to be interesting. I came back for the sake of getting this shot, in the hope that the sky would do something photoworthy. Thankfully, it did.

It's a little too dark (it looks better viewed large, but I couldn't get the contrast right without blowing the sky. (I've tweaked the light on this and re-uploaded, since it looked awful when viewed on my desktop machine rather than my laptop).

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
