Ancient Woodland

A collection of images capturing the enduring splendour of an ancient woodland within a single square mile of North Yorkshire. 

Ancient Woodland A tranquil dawn overlooking an ancient woodland; bare, silhouetted trees frame a mist-veiled landscape with a prominent rock formation in the foreground, creating a serene, mystical atmosphere.
The Crimple Valley A vast wheat field, ripe and golden-brown, stretches under a dramatic sky over the Crimple Valley. A pathway cuts through the center, leading towards distant hills dotted with trees. The sky is a mix of dark storm clouds and brighter patches where sunlight breaks through, highlighting the wheat's rich color and creating a scene of imminent weather change, contrasting the tranquillity of the rural landscape.

Harrogate Landscapes A serene dawn in Harrogate: the sun, a soft orb, rises in a misty, peach-toned sky. Lush green grass, dewy and vibrant, stretches into the distance. A simple wooden fence partially emerges from the fog, guiding the eye through the tranquil, hazy meadow.
North Yorkshire's Wild Moorlands An intense sunrise bathes North Yorkshire moorland in soft light. Lichen-speckled rocks and heather streak the foreground, while a misty expanse stretches towards a hazy horizon.

The Crimple Viaduct

Straddling the picturesque Crimple Valley between Pannal and Hornbeam Park stations in Harrogate North Yorkshire, this Grade II listed structure is not just a feat of railway engineering but a breath-taking sight. 

The Crimple Viaduct The Crimple Valley Viaduct's stone structure bathed in sunlight. Arches rise from sturdy pillars, their shadows striping the textured walls. The golden hue of the stone contrasts with the soft arch shadows, evoking a sense of historic grandeur.
School Run An old, gnarled tree with bare, intertwining branches dominates the view against a misty, ethereal backdrop. The contorted tree limbs stretch skywards, enveloped by a soft, diffuse light, creating an atmospheric, almost otherworldly forest scene.

Yorkshire Dales

The unique landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. Rugged textures of limestone pavements contrast beautifully with the resilience of lone trees standing against the elements.

Seascapes of the Outer Hebrides A sweeping sandy beach graces the foreground, with gentle waves caressing the shore and leaving a smooth, wet surface. A grass-topped dune rises to the right, bathed in warm light from a softly lit sky streaked with lavender and gold hues. In the distance, gentle hills fade into the horizon under a tranquil sky.
