It is only a short drive for me to head into a different part of Teesdale. This evening there was a bit of late sun so I took the dogs out for a quick leg stretch up past Cotherstone to Goldsborough a cap of Millstone Grit which sits neatly on the moor above Hury Reservior. The 10 minute walk from the quiet road soon brings you up to the flat top of the hill. Over to the west sits a matching outcrop of Shacklesborough about a mile or so distant.
By chance I timed it pretty well to get a possible chance of a decent sunset photograph. The walk was the main intention but a sunset would have been a bonus. I only had the Lumix LX5 with me so it was just the opportunity to capture the scene as it was.
As it happened, I was lucky, a large black cloud which had been blocking the sun soon dispersed and there was a glimpse of the sun, nothing too strong but just a hint before it dropped behind a distant cloud layer on the horizon. I managed to get off a few shots before the whole scene changed and the light was gone.
To me it's the clouds that make this photo, I love the drama of the sky and the hint of the sun peeping through.
Well worth the effort of the drive to Cotherstone.
