The golden hour above Skyreholme.

What or where is Skyreholme I hear you ask. Well its a hidden dale a few miles east of Appletreewick in Wharfedale. It is famous for :-

Trollers Gill, which is a collapsed limestone cavern at the head of the Skyreholme Beck and is famous for its trolls and sprites!
Parcevall Hall which is a Christian retreat these days and the gardens of which are owned by the RHS and are open to the public. I can highly recommend the small cafe there, and
its prehistoric rock art going back to the Bronze Age.

If that doesn't get people flocking there in droves then nothing will.

I took my series of shots from the moors road above which links Nidderdale to this part of Wharfedale. I had hoped for a spectacular sunset but the clouds just fizzled away to hardly anything so that put paid to that. A couple of cloud clusters did hang around and turned pink but they were nothing to get excited about. I gave up seeking out sunsets years ago as all to often the promise isnt lived up to and you end up driving miles on a wasted journey. I just happened to be in the area on Saturday.

I did get a spectacular Golden Hour though so all was not lost. Enjoy the photos.
