Forces of Yorkshire, a photo from North Yorkshire, England

Photographer's Note

As I mentioned in the note to my other photo from this area, the waterfalls in this area are called "forces" after the Norse word foss, meaning waterfall.
This is yet another waterfall in Yorkshire Dales National Park along the Swaledale. This one is called Kisdon Force but since it is located very shortly after the East Gill Force, I noticed that it is sometimes called Lower East Gill Force. I suppose it is hard to figure out what you are staring at if every few steps there is a waterfall.
Yorkshire Dales National Park is located just south from the more famous Lake District National Park. It does not have the lakes and the hills are a bit lower here, but as the name indicates, it has several very picturesque dales. The access to this park is less convenient than to the Lake District, which makes it much less visited and less popular.

Hello Mariusz,

A marvellous small waterfall in good lighting and with nice motion blur of the water. Superb colour, sharpness, saturation and framing. Tfs!

Hello Mariusz,
"Steps" cascade on the rocks, slow shutter and favorable light made the job here.
Wonderful nature, superb outcome, cheers.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Mariusz,

Both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are places of outstanding natural beauty, each with its own style.
This is another very pretty, rather than grand waterfall, taking a tortuous route down the stone faults.
You know my preference for natural rather than silky cascades but, I can accept others' preference, too!

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Mariusz, interesting that this waterfall is called a force, with the stepped formation of the rocks, a force does not seem as obvious.
Maybe after heavy rain, the water becomes more forceful!
I like the light, it shows all the natural colours and textures beautifully.
Lovely scene.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Mariusz,
The clear light was excellent here and shows the rocks and the waterfalls so well. I particularly like the smaller falls right in front of us. Superb sharpness and clarity throughout the picture, which show the textures also very nicely.

Pozdrav.
Lepa litica od kamenih ploca i vodopad, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i dobrim tekstom.
Lep deo Nacionalnog parka i fotografija.
Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje u novom mesecu koji je poceo.

Hello Mariusz,
Great capture of the different small and large waterfalls.
In warm weather, this seems like an ideal place to frolic in the water. But then the question will arise again whether there is an ice cream stand nearby.
Beautiful composition. Excellent sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

another fine capture of a waterfall, well composed and good details

Hi Mariusz,

A beautiful scene with the hard geometry of the rock layers contrasting with the soft silky waterfalls. Good composition and depth of field. It looks like a good place to explore.
