Summer’s Bountiful Playground
Britain is really starting to look proper lush now. Lisabet and I had a wee hike from Stainforth in the Yorkshire Dales down towards Little Stainforth to check out Stainforth Force. And what a bonny la’al area this is! Quite a few families about, playing in the river, diving in the plunge pools and bathing in the waterfalls; glorious on a hot summer’s day! I took many compositions around here; this one is shot north of the falls looking towards Stainforth Bridge, an ancient packhorse bridge, heavily featuring the eroded forms of the limestone river bed. =)
