Silver in them tha hills by

This small but fast running stream swollen by the recent rains on Redmire Moor, runs off Gibbon Hill, over looking the Yorkshire village of Grinton.

Perched on the edge of Swaledale.

The setting winter sun was blasting along the frost,
snow and water, creating this wonderful high key effect on the rotting bracken and path.

Converted in to black and white

    Oh to be back in Grinton now that the Silver Rush is on…. A wonderful shot; it just fairly gleams.

  • The old disused mines are just above here Sheila, so may be worth panning it ;)

    Get off the bridge and walk down the side of the stream SF, bit slippy but worth it :))

  • If I had, doubt if I would have got out lol, it was that iced mud, first time i found a spot to park the van :)

    love the light in this, as you quite rightly point out “blasting” its way along the path, powerful and totally effective.
    Nice one,
    h

  • Thanks h, the best bit is, just over this moor, the next real valley was filled by thick fog lol

    Romancing the stream… Perfect set for a victorian social melodrama, again…

  • LOL Love the idea of a Victorian melodrama being set here and with the history of mining here, it would be perfect :)
