The UK's recent heatwave created tinder-box dry conditions in much of the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorks Moors and visitor-access to some areas of moorland was restricted to prevent the risk of fire. This image is of SheepWash, a natural stream near the village of Osmotherly where centuries ago it was used to wash the sheep after they'd been shorn in spring. The image is a verdant reminder of how the gorse- and bracken-covered moorlands will look again when the rains come and the land recovers from draught conditions.

Anne Marie this is a really beautiful, detailed shot. The colors are brilliant for an overcast day. It's a nice composition. The only thing I might want to fix is the horizon isn't straight. That might just be a hill? It's a beautiful photo! anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
I have sat there once ... just above that big square rock.. only it was overcast and drizzling... Memories... Thank you for making this one bright and sunny again! Can almost smell that special air!

This is a very inviting capture Anne Marie. I just want to walk down the creek and into the hills. It has terrific composition and nice subtle colors. Bring a lot of peace to the desktop. Thanks for sharing this beauty of nature. Anita

Anne Marie - what a lovely picture and such an intersting narrative.
I love the mistiness in the background.
I spoke to my son in NW England just a few hours ago and he was saying how terribly parched everything is. (including himself I think :) )

Keep your face to the sunshine and you can not see the shadows. It's what sunflowers do - Helen Keller
Very pretty shot accompanied by an interesting description of it. I used to live in England when my dad was stationed overseas and I miss it soo much. Seeing pictures of it (especially nice ones like yours) make me want to go back even more...even if there is dry conditions with the heatwave. Heck I live in San Antonio, TX where there is year round heatwave and dry conditions...I would love to go back there again. Thanks for sharing your lovely picture!! :)

Live every day as if it's your last... and take "pictures" of it ;)
Hello Anne....This image has a peaceful almost serene quality, the colours and delicately vacant composition combine nicely and the misty hills in the background evoke a pleasing sense of mystery...Well done....All the best...Mick.

It evokes all my yearnings to wander over the moors at leisure some time before I die. (I've done it once, for a couple of hours only, and that taste of the moors has kindled an appetite for more inimate acquaintance.)
You obviously got to do it! And you found a picturesque spot to share with us, too; thank you.
