Thwaite

Norber, Yorkshire Dales, an area covered in huge erratic boulders and scattered limestone pavement, this was a new location for me and I'd decided to head up here for sunset.

I'd got up here about 45 minutes prior to sunset and had the idea that from the top I'd find a composition I liked and I'd get the very last of the light should it turn good, on getting there though the only problem was that all the interesting rocks seemed to be below the summit which would drastically reduce the amount of time I had to get any shots as the sun would dissapear a lot quicker behind the hill than the standard sunset time...

I managed a few shots with the rocks lit up from behind but in the end decided to g for this using the sun on the edges of the erratic boulders as it dropped onto the horizon line, this was about 40 minutes before true sunset, so with the shot taken that was it for the day and an early finish, the sunset that evening wasn't the best either with a load of murk drifting in and obscuring the sun, so to get anything was quite a bonus, beautful area though and definitely a place you could spend hours exploring.
