Tina’s asked us to consider light, in Lens-Artists’ Challenge #162. I decided I could do worse than wander about our own home patch, and go for a stroll that lasted from early morning to evening, from summer to a snowy day and watch how the light changes as the day wears on.
I got into the habit, during lockdown, of getting up bright and early to watch the sun rise. Here it is, over the River Ure.

And here we are, never more than ten minutes away from home, in the morning, at noon, and at sunset.
The last two are taken, firstly on one bright morning when there’d been so much rain the fields had flooded, and then later, one evening just as the sun had set.
Lucky you to live in such a beautiful place. Talented you for taking the photos!

The deep blue of the early night sky is so hard to capture, but your last image is very successful. It’s the clever capture of the lit windows that seals it.

Lovely atmospheric photos. We really do need to book a holiday in Yorkshire next year. I’m thinking two centre bases, one in or near the Dales and one more to the east of the county. Kirkby Longsdale so we can pop into the Lake District and possibly Helmsley / Pickering. Unless you have any suggestions?

The choiciest choice of goodness is assembled here. You know which one speaks the loudest to me? The one with the poor fields flooded as even in this dire situation Yorkshire looks stunning.
I so remember also our drives through Devon to Tiverton over B or possibly C roads and often through water on those streets…. And then, a few days later it was all green and blooming again (mostly). God must love you to let you live in such a glorious land.
