Just passing through
West Burton Falls
by Pete Rowbottom

Another hard drive find taken the same day as the last shot (which incidentally is my Birthday) A well shot location in Yorkshire but that doesn't put me off as every visit is potentially different. Cauldron Falls or West Burton Falls if you prefer... flows through a particularly gorgeous bit of rocky woodland.

Despite it being the middle of Summer, the weather had been extremely wet a few days prior to this (OK so that's not that unusual for the UK..) I decided to stop off here to see if there was some good flow in the falls and wasn't dissapointed, there was also some luscious colour in the foliage around the falls reminscent more of Spring than Summer but I wasn't complaining. Not long after I got a couple of shots here it poured down yet again and another dash back to the car was needed.

A local hostelry may have provided a place to dry off and 'refuel' :-)

Fall at Aysgarth's Lower Falls
by Pete Rowbottom

I'd totally forgotten about the images from this trip after posting just one some months ago... another couple to post up starting with this one with I actually thought I had posted up.

This was taken just several days before the really bad (and very destructive) flooding in North Yorkshire.

In Summer you really wouldn't expect the falls to be this powerful but it was certainly the shape of things to come several days later, even standing near to the edge here to get this felt very dodgy and I had to be extremely careful moving about in short movements so as not to either fall in, or knock the camera in.

Silk
Hardraw Force
by Pete Rowbottom

Hardraw Force in the Yorkshire Dales, England`s largest single drop waterfall. I'd never visited this place before but was glad I did, even through the hot spell there is plenty of water flowing and enough cover to catch night light but still be shaded enough to get a decent long exposure of the falls with sun in the right place. Definitely like to come back shoot this in Winter as well.

exposure: 221 seconds @ f16.
