Making "heather weather" of it!

Up on the wild and windy moors above the Wharfe Valley in the Yorkshire Dales and I was finding the conditions tricky! It was windy, so much so that the heather was constantly being blown around and I regretted actually not bringing a pair of gloves! It was hard to believe it was late July, it felt like October!

 

I was also still learning my way around the Z7ii and found the harsh low light a challenge in the blustery conditions. Still, Mr Roberts here, seemed to be oblivious as he intuitively faced his beloved Dales with his trusty D810. This shot is a bit of reciprocity as I was unaware he had taken a few shots of my efforts whilst up on the summit Simons Seat, which he has posted on here! So here is my revenge!

 

The crespecular rays were fabulous as the meadows in the valley between Appletreewick and Burnsall were illuminated beneath the threatening dark skies. Sunset was clearly going to be clouded out and we headed down just after taking these shots.
