Is there a single tree in Britain that has been photographed  more often than this one ......  They are a fascinating freak of nature aren't they these pavements ?  Some of the fissures in the Limestone  can be very deep and though I have never seen them close up I imagine they are pretty difficult  to actually walk on too . Great perspective  Karl,  demonstrating the vast extent  of this phenomena...The low point of view  works  well in my opinion...

Thank you. Where I was they weren't as lethal as they are near Ingleborough, I know cause I partially fell down one many years ago when I had my son on my shoulders, her was fine with my quick reaction. I am going to be going to that part of the 'limestone pavement' soon!

It's amazing up there. I have a photo of it on one of my Flickr pages along with a few others of my visit with friends many years ago to Malham.

Looking forward to seeing the photographic results of your next walk on a Pavement  Karl... but be careful !

Interesting and unusual landscape that I’ve never seen photographed (or in person). The mono works well to show the texture.

It occurs in a number of places Cheryl as a result of  acidic rain falling on the limestone  and  causing erosion due to a chemical action, resulting in  fissures . It's really difficult to walk on  hence not commonly photographed  at such close quarters as Karl did.... They are very important and  are protected  as a rare habitat ...

Great set of very interesting textures Karl, and I think the low view point works really well, mono suits it too.
