I was hiking around Standbury Moor on with my camera looking for interested shots when I lost my footing and fell face first into a marsh bog luckly with my camera in my hand rather than round my neck.

Whilst trying to pull up myself out of the bog I didn’t realize that I accidently  shot an image, and it was only after I had pulled myself out of the bog and check my equipment I noticed this interested angle. So I thought ‘what the hell’ and jumped back into the bog and stared shooting in the same direction.

The final shot you see before is the original accidental shot which turned out to be the best version!

Taken whilst walking on New Years Eve up on top of Malham Cove. The Cove is 80 metres high and 300 metres wide and north of the mid craven fault, Malham Cove is a curved crag of carboniferous limestone formed after the last ice age. Meltwater, particularly from Malham Tarn, cut back the cove as it fell over the edge as a waterfall.

Malham is probably most famous for it’s Limestone pavements and between this pavement and rocks we find these lonely trees. This tree is actually on the side of the cove hanging off the edge. I found a little track down towards the edge of the cove and carefully found a position to set up my equipment and shot this tree.

Taken at Bridlington during the the holiday season and remarkably snapped at a perfect time with no holiday makers.

Bridlington has two long sandy beaches. Bridlington South is a safe beach located to the south side of the harbour. This extensive sandy beach overlooks Bridlington Bay, bordered to the north by the stunning Flamborough headland, while to the south the golden sands extend to Spurn Point at the mouth of the River Humber. Bridlington North beach which is a sand and shingle beach surrounded by wide promenades backed against the breathtaking Flamborough cliffs.

Top Withens (also known as Top Withins) is a ruined farmhouse near Haworth, West Yorkshire, England which is said to have been the inspiration for the location of the Earnshaw family house Wuthering Heights in the novel of the same name by Emily Brontë.

A plaque affixed to a wall reads:
“This farmhouse has been associated with “Wuthering Heights”, the Earnshaw home in Emily Brontë’s novel. The buildings, even when complete, bore no resemblance to the house she described, but the situation may have been in her mind when she wrote of the moorland setting of the Heights.”

—Brontë Society 1964. This plaque has been placed here in response to many enquiries.

The ruin lies on the Pennine Way east of Withins Height below Delf Hill. It is a popular walking destination from nearby Haworth and Stanbury. Such is the attraction to Japanese literary tourists that some footpath signs in the area include directions in Japanese. (source from Wikipedia)

Those ruins can be seen in this photograph but the real picture was the siamese twin trees behind the ruin.
