On top of Embsay crag 2

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
For a change I thought over a 3 day period I would post three shots taken in a sequence and set close to each other showing the different views available.
They were taken on top of Embsay crag in the Yorkshire dales.
This is the second shot in the series.
Embsay Crag is a prominent local landmark left over from the last ice age and composed predominantly of millstone grit.
Millstone grit is also known as gritstone and is a sedimentary rock composed of coarse sand grains and small stones. It is a coarser version of sandstone.
Gritstone used to be quarried to form millstones to mill flour and sharpen blades, this of course is how the name millstone grit came about.
Have a happy new year! |

Hi Stephen,
A simple and so well captured beautiful mountain landscape nature for composition. Good and excelent quality in a clear picture with so good colors, light handling and a fine contrast and sharpness. Fantastic enquadrement and point of view. It's your last 2005 post picture and is a excelent one with great quality. It's best to mantain the simple and wonderful for a better 2006 year.
Congratulations and the best to you and family at this ending 2005 and a much better 2006 year.

Happy New Year Stephen. GOod to see you've some nice walking weather up there since Christmas. Well found PoV here to capture the mood of the bleak moor, and also provide compositional interest. Nice shot.

Hi Stephen, I like this one better than the previous one, because the boulder is more prominent and more dramatic. This one also gives more of a sense of wide open space as you can see down the valley to the fields beyond. Well done, and Happy New Year!
