Marys Shell
This picture of Mary’s Shell was taken at low tide, the shell is a huge piece of public artwork which sits on the beach at Cleveleys. and is part of the mythical coast. The sculpture was installed on the 25th September 2013
The Stone Ogre
The stone Ogre is a sculpture which sits on Cleveley’s beach in Lancashire, the ogre is a key feature of Cleveley’s Mythical Coast trail and is not far from Mary’s Shell. You can only see the Ogre when the tide is out, and he is sat at the end of a stone groyne.
Fleetwood Shipwrecks
I had been wanting to visit these old shipwrecks for a while, the wrecks are mostly old Fleetwood trawlers left over from the Cod wars of the 1970s. The wrecks are in various stages of deterioration and make interesting compositions.
Thornton Force
This stunning waterfall is the last waterfall on the Ingleton Waterfalls trail before you cross from the river Twiss to the other valley and river Doe on the last leg of the waterfall trail.
Thornton Force is the most impressive of the waterfalls and is roughly 14m high where it cascades into a pool below.
Forton Services Light Trails
Standing on a motorway bridge in winter is not a good idea, but on this occasion, it was worth it as the light trails and Forton Services make for an interesting image.
Christmas in Kirkby Lonsdale
Christmas is a wonderful time of year especially when the town dresses up, Kirkby Lonsdale really does make a good job of it.
Ingleborough Through the Cheese Press
The Cheese press Stones are two remarkable annular blocks of Limestone which sit on the edge of the limestone escarpment above Kingsdale in the Yorkshire Dales. I have walked here many times but on this particular day Ingleborough in the distance was looking so moody I had to take the picture.
Ravaged by time
I came across this Hawthorn tree which has clearly been ravaged by the weather and time, it is set in the limestone pavement at Southerscales in the Yorkshire dales. How this tree has survived clinging onto life in this harsh landscape is a testament to the hardship these trees go through, let’s hope it survives for others to enjoy.
The Old Gang Smelt Mill
On a wet morning in Swaledale the walk to the Old Gang Smelt Mill from the car park was pleasurable with grouse calling and flying around us.
After about a mile you arrive at the ruins, which dates to the 18th and 19th centuries and was one of the largest in the area.
The Old Gang Smelt Mill is one of the best preserved in the area and is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Wastwater
I had wanted to visit Wastwater for some time, and having the opportunity to visit this beautiful lake was not a disappointment, the views are stunning. The light snow covering on Scafell and Great Gable in the distance add to the image.
