One misty, moisty morning

(Back to the mini-break in early March) 

'One misty, moisty morning' is the title of a 1973 Steeleye Span song that still plays in my head from my student days. It was apt for the second day of my mini-break in Wensleydale, when the blue sky disappeared and left drizzle and a cold, damp mist hanging in the valley. It was atmospheric though, and not much can spoil the beauty of those stone barns and rambling drystone walls. 

On the road between Askrigg and Hawes there is a stand of trees on top of a hill that caught my eye, with random walls meandering across the slopes. I think I prefer the mono version, though the way I've processed it makes it look less misty.

  3. Never heard that song that I recall...I thought you'd made up a word, moisty! I choose the color version also.

  6. I remember Steeleye Span with Maddy Pryor very well. They were different.
