Taken over the heads of people in front. Day out to Settle and Grassington (never been before) where we found a scene from All Creatures Great & Small being filmed.

Love the area, spent a lot of time as a kid in Settle/Horton in Ribblesdale area with school. Took every opportunity I could to spend up there, that meant field trips for geography , geology , history, biology , and anything else I could think of. My school had a “hut” in Stainforth just a couple of miles up the road.

Added some drone shots as additional media to the NT Dyrham Park and Gardens location on Dronescene earlier this week. Just thought i’d post some of the shots i took from the ground in the Gardens as follow up.
For those not familiar with Dyrham Park, it’s a seriously lovely location 30 minutes away from where i live which i’d visited several times in the past to photograph the herd of 300 deer that lived in the grounds but never visited the house. Sadly, the deer herd was culled several years back after an outbreak of TB but they are slowly starting to rebuild the herd (currently up to 40) from scratch so looking good for the future.
The trip this week to the house and gardens was a first for me but thought i’d drop in and see the much advertised tulip experience. I’m not really a flower person, but it was pretty awesome. If you’re in the area, well worth a stop.

Not my usual subject matter, but was down at Dalscone Farm in the Scottish Borders with my wife and thought I’d see how the eye AF on my camera coped (it’s used to dealing with brides & grooms 
).

Visited me mum + dad Sunday afternoon, thought I’d take a walk through the local woods on the off chance the bluebells were still about. I wasn’t disappointed.

Porlock Salt Marsh
These photographs document the skeletal remains of Porlock Salt Marsh, a landscape shaped by significant environmental change. Formerly a freshwater meadow, the area was swamped by the Bristol Channel in 1996 following a storm that breached the shingle ridge.
The resulting “ghost trees,” primarily ancient oaks, serve as highly visible indicators of this ecological transition. The effects of salt exposure have stripped them of bark and vitality, leaving their bare forms in marked contrast with Somerset’s dynamic sky.
The black and white shots highlight the structural geometry of the deadwood, rendering the marsh as a monochromatic expanse defined by texture and shadow. The colour captures present a different atmosphere; hues from a moody long exposure sky and sunlight reflected in pools illustrate a unique visual character within this altered environment.
When I was down last week, the high tide reached 9.1 metres and at the point of high tide, I was on a rock surrounded on 3 sides by water. Anything above 9.6 metres completely floods the whole marsh plain, so cool reflections all round…
Above 10 metres, waders are recommended – looking ahead to mid May, tides of 10.3/10.4m are expected so I may well be back down again in a few weeks time!

Until I scrolled down the page, I wondered what on earth are you on about 
Oops - I didn’t see the split between pictures.
The stoat is usually running along with a rabbit dangling from his mouth. Never seen him still for as long as today.
also only just noticed that the platform on the back of the plane is slightly lowered, wondering who or what he dropped off.

The Stoat?, maybe special ops

I’ve never wanted a Land Rover.
However, after seeing this Defender parked up outside my local, I could be tempted…
