Vast Skies

Vast Skies

The greens and skies of early spring are something to behold.

Vast skies, changing light falling on complex layers of lines, shapes and colour.

Raindrop Diamonds

A wet day has it's own beauty, there's always something wonderful to find in Rosedale. 

Autumnal Beech Leaves

Yellow

The colour of autumn. The leaves of the Field Maple, Sycamore and Beech are all turning quickly now. We are one sharp frost away from bare branches.

Hawthorn Berries

Autumn

We are well into the season of warm colours, with the hedgerows heavy with berries of all kinds. I do love this time of year.
Rosedale's Waterfall

The Weather

Well.. we British love to talk about the weather and it has been a tad wet as of late.

Rosedale's waterfall reappeared on the West side of the dale. Not seen this since the early 2000's

Rosedales Sycamore

Rosedales Sycamore

There is a magnificent tree on the village green.

Planted in 1911 is has grown into a magnificent specimen.

We look at these trees in a whole new way, following the cutting down of Sycamore Gap.

The power of a Sycamore to regrow after such a brutal act is evident in Rosedale.

We went to the green last week and took a good look at the trunk.

It seems the Rosedale tree once suffered the same fate as Sycamore Gap, but has regrown into a crown of major branches without a central trunk, to become a truly magnificent presence in the village centre.

 

Rosedale Dale Head

Rosedale Dale Head

I enjoyed a walk with my camera, in this stunning part of the world.

Ahhh, ya know.... I love the North York Moors.

View over Rosedale from the dale head.

Vast skies, deep dales, rolling moors and dramatic light falling on a stunning landscape, it never gets old.
