Well, the green, green grass not far from home, at any rate. I took these photos on a ramble with a friend around the village of Burley in Wharfedale. They're not particularly special or outstanding in any way - just ordinary views such as you can find all around here: semi-rural, with ribbons of residential development along the main roads and lots of fields, woods and moorland to explore if you know the right pathways to take, beloved of dog-walkers and runners. (We passed - or were passed by - lots of both!) We wander among sheep and a few cattle - and those ever-present Yorkshire drystone walls. The hill on the left is in fact the long ridge on the south side of the valley, called Otley Chevin. (Did a walk around there last year - HERE). On a clear day you can, apparently, see as far as York Minster from here but as you can see it wasn't a clear day at all - rather murky in fact. We still enjoyed our walk and I feel fortunate to be able to explore our countryside and our public footpaths freely, whenever I want to.
It must be lovely rambling through that country.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to just see some grass. We still have over a foot of snow on the ground and more to come this week.
ReplyDeleteQuite peaceful country views.
ReplyDeleteBurley in Wharfedale is important in my life. My Mum and Dad got married there in 1943. I can attest they make very happy marriages in Burley!
