Cauldron Falls
Recent heavy rain has made the waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales rather spectacular. This pretty spot is Cauldron Falls in West Burton. It was sketched by J M Turner in 1816, when he was taking a grand tour of Yorkshire, and from the sketch (part of the Turner Bequest held in The Tate) it seems that little has changed since then. West Burton itself is an attractive Dales village, clustered around a large village green with a market cross.

Every cloud has a silver lining - even rain clouds! The longer exposure has worked really well here.
ReplyDeleteLove the effect on the water.

There are some beautiful spots I really must visit and get out of `london
ReplyDeleteNice shot; looks like you've had the tripod out again for a slow shutter speed shot, worked well.
ReplyDeleteThat is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful capture - I can almost feel the moist air on my cheeks and smell the moss and lichen covered rocks!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful...and it was fun to see that sketch, too! We're having rain today...going to turn into some bad storms later today, though. We're snug inside!
