The objective of our family walk was Goit Stock Falls, where Harden Beck tumbles over a rocky ledge on its journey down the valley. There was a fair amount of water cascading and the falls looked rather attractive. The protruding rocks produce a pretty, layered effect. I'm not too confident clambering over slippery boulders these days so I was unable to find a viewpoint beyond the tree, although it would have given a much better composition to my photo.
The valley of Harden Beck is very pretty in parts, with several smaller falls along the walk. A few autumn leaves still holding on offered a welcome touch of colour.
There was a bit of mist about. The sun was trying to get through but it never really managed to penetrate the wooded valley, so it was rather chillier than I'd expected. I guess I should now dig out my full 'winter gear' and weather-proof myself, since it's only walks like this that are keeping me sane and upbeat in these trying times.
Such beautiful settings, and even more so with a bit of fall color still there!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful walk. The waterfall looks like a lovely wedding veil.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to walk. Yes walking in the woods is one of the best things to do in Lockdown.
ReplyDeleteOh geez. I can't see how you could have gotten a better composition for your photo. I think the tree adds a lot. But I wasn't there. What a lovely scene you were in. And you came back with fine photos. I particularly like the last one, where the trees appear to be making their own light. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty place. I'd sit there with a book.
ReplyDeleteThe waterfall is a particular delight.
