Pen-y-ghent

[Ryewolf]

Late afternoon I decided to drive upto Settle, so arrived at around 4pm, but nothing really grabbed me so I set off for Stainforth, but again nothing really caught my eye. As I could see Pen-y-ghent I thought I'd drive further up and see what could be found. I drove upto Dry Rigg Quarry, these 3 were taken over approx 45 mins (at 6pm-ish) and the light did vary quite a lot, the sun was behind me. I couldn't decide which of the 3 I liked best, so thought would see what everyone here thought.

Good light nice vistas.....

Thanks, JHF. Yes, it is quite stunning - I've walked over it when I was at school - but not since and I had planned to be there late evening as I knew the evening sun would be behind me.

Personally I think I'd go with the last image, the dappled shadow has the effect of adding depth.

 

The dark shadow in #1 draws the eye, and the bird in #2 for the same reason.

Chers Phil, I'm tending to go the same with you on the last image, now that I've looked at them a little longer.

Lovely little series there, some great light on the scene.

 

I ran up Pen-y-ghent when I was at school as I was silly enough to be in the orienteering group about the time of our school trip there!

Hard to choose between the three, but I think number 1 pips it for me. It seems to have a little more drama than the other two.

 

A magnificent bit of Britain, though Ingleborough is the only hill I've walked in this area. Alfred Wainwright was proper put out that Ingleborough was only classified as a hill - he said it was "every inch a mountain".

Thanks Heather, JW and Korky, all three were a nice bonus to what had been, up to that piont, very unfruitful. Still I don't mind it gets me out and about, I'd only planned to go there if nothing in Settle and Stainforth caught my eye. I think no3 just does it over no1 for me, on any other day I might have been very pleased with no2.

Very nice, but given the similarity I'd vote for #1 and say the other  2 are probably redundant.
