Sentry on the hill
High up in The North York Moors National park.
We had just left the village of Goathland where I had been taking photos of the Autumn colours, it was raining when we came up the hill but when we started to come down the other side I spotted this sight in front of me, I had to stop and take some shots.
The light was reflecting off the road all the way down which lead my eye across the valley to the Radar station on the hill at Fylingdales,and the wonderful sky beyond. Fylingdales is a ballistic missile early warning system that can track objects up to 3,000 miles away, it`s role is to warn of surprise missile attacks.
The North York Moors are grazed by sheep who have free roam, as you can see they wander in the road as well, I have cloned out a white sign on the left which I feel was a distraction rather than crop the image and lose some of that blue sky.
