Water Ark Waterfall, Orton, square crop..
It may seem daft, but I’m posting this photo to see if you enjoy steam engine noises??? Just above from where I took this photo of Water Ark Foss is a railway bridge belonging to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. On my way back from the falls I stopped alongside the railway line and took a video… the video is poor, my compact camera needs a grad filter so the skies don’t get blown out… but, I think the sound is just lovely… almost perfect..
Check it out HERE :))
Water Ark Foss is one of two lovely small waterfalls between the villages of Beckhole and Goathland on the North York Moors National Park. The other waterfall is Thomason Foss. I’ve watched a heron fishing down here and seen what look like trout ( could be small salmon ) trying to leap up the falls. It’s a lovely hidden valley with out too many visitors, lets hope it stays that way :
This photo of Water Ark Foss was taken with a Canon 5D.. the video was taken with a Canon G10.

Hi Alan, the Orton effect gives it a dream like quality which suits the location perfectly. All you need are a couple of fairies flitting around :-)
TallGuy replied
Hi Rob,
when I took this there was only wizards and people in halloween gear, no faries :-)

Stunning shot. I was hoping to go up to Mallyan Spout and Beck Hole last weekend, but the weather was too wet, hopefully this weekend, and hopefully the leaves are still on the tress!
