Goldsborough Gold

 Another evening for a late walk. This time I drove a short distance though the village of Cotherstone and up the dale towards Hury reservoir. Further on I parked along the quite road and set off up to Goldsborough. Yet again the moor was well covered in snow which made it difficult going. As we headed up the hill away to our right I could see the sun over Shacklesborough at this time hidden behind one lone cloud but with the possibility of dropping down inot the open shortly.

Goldsborough.

With perfect timing the sun lit up the flanks of the low crag, blue sky above and warm glowing snow. There wasn't going to be much time before the sun sank below the hoizon so we stepped out to reach the top of the hill. Deep snow on uneven ground doesnt make for a quick pace but we did it and still with time to spare..just.

Sundown.

From below the crags we got the best view of the sun, its glow reflecting off the icy surface of the snow. It was perfect and my efforts had been rewarded.

 As usual these photos where taken with just the Lumix, no filters or tricks and the colours as they were captured in camera, why did I need to do any more? Nature at its best.
