Thanks!
And that’s precisely why I shot it! Thank you!
That’s very nice of you to say! Ta very much!
A large part of the Yorkshire Dales is comprised of limestone. Limestone kinda dissolves a bit in water and acid rain, so when the water runs through the cracks and joints in the limestone, it can create cool slabs called “clints” separated by deep fissures known as “grikes” or “grykes”.
I am not. I hadn’t heard of it tbh.
Totally. Become a firm favourite of mine when visiting Skye.
You’re exactly. Sunlight was scanning across the moorland, so I had to be quick.
Thanks! This is a single exposure from a 210mm zoomed in composition. I saw the band of light hitting the distant house and moorland, with the Storr in deep shadow due to the storm above, so nabbed it quick as I could.
Ah, your shot is taken from Elgol on the Strathaird peninsula, north of where my image is from (on the Sleat peninsula). Lovely moody conditions! Skye’s beautiful no matter what.
Thanks very much!
Today I learnt!
There’s casinos in Auckland, NZ?
Thanks! Yeah there were a lot of folk taking sneaky snaps of that Ferrari.
It’s about a 60-foot drop. All the plants are bracken, which turns a lovely rusty hue in the autumn.

Yeah it’s absolutely crackin’ anywhere up there!
The Great Ridge, towards Back Tor, in the Peak District, England.
GNUtrino is bag on. The village used to be recorded as Gherinstone, Garsington, or Gersington. It’s a mix of Old Norse and Old English, meaning something like “the town with the grassy ings” (an “ing” is a dialect term for a meadow near a river).
Ta! Aye, felt a bit weird seeing the leaves and fern change into their rusty hues, but then also being subject to 25ºC heat.
You’re very welcome.
