So yesterday (Tuesday) was my day off and with the parents still having their second week of the holiday I really wanted to go up onto the Yorkshire Moors. I'm not really sure why, maybe it's because of its remoteness, the chances of playing with my camera and catching some wildlife. The English summer weather had other ideas of allowing it however.
We decided to go up by Levisham railway - a stop along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway just north up the road from Pickering. We arrived just after a shower - long enough for me to grab the above pictures (the only pictures) and have lunch. I'm trying to get better at my landscape shots. As you can all probably tell I love my macro flowery pictures yet I never seem to manage artsy or interesting landscape photographs - it's something I need to work out.
But then the skies greyed over and the heavens well and truly opened. The next hour was spent watching the rain running down the car windows and the Moorland sheep getting wet and hiding by the stonewalls. At that point we gave up and went to Dalby Forest but that's a post for another day!
Isn't everyone else totally fed up with this "summer" weather?!
