As the cloud cover increased towards the end of the afternoon around Malham, I was captivated both by the scenery, the sky and my camera's struggle to make sense of the changing light.
Soft processing brings out some subtle, gentle colours in the scrubby vegetation (above), trees shallowly rooted in the thin, rocky soil. I also loved that line of molehills near the trees, imagining Mr Mole toiling along his tunnel, muttering under his breath. It must have been hard work!
Looking up towards the bright sky tricked the camera into underexposure and created some evocative silhouettes of the scree-covered hillsides and trees:
Thanks for interpreting for Mr. Mole. Is he of the Wind in the WIllows Mr. Mole? Now he was a fine character, if I remember right.
