Landscape - Details

The golden colour of the cropped field and the marks made by recent haymaking stands out in its green grazed surroundings.

The dark green of the moor is beginning to flow down the dale into the once grazed fields, as the bracken takes hold.

A break in the weather took me out onto the moors with my new camera lens and I really enjoyed seeing the details.

Can you see the ‘dog leg’ in the wall in the bottom left hand of the image… most likely, many years ago when the wall was constructed, the build had to go around a large buried stone.

I look at the walls and marvel at the work it took to build them. The stones were dug from the fields, moved and every single one carefully placed to construct the lines that divide this landscape, from moor wall down to the river.
