Addiction

Addiction - A summer sunset across Batty Moss feeding my addiction of capturing Ribblehead Viaduct under a variety of different conditions.

 

This wonderful historical structure built by the Midland Railway in 1875 sits in an impressive amphitheatre between Ingleborough, Whernside and Blea Moor, deep in the heart of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. As those that follow me have discovered, I've developed an addiction to studying this magnificent subject over the past few years.

 

Capturing a summer's sunset across Batty Moss with the viaduct as a backdrop is a shot I've been working on over the past couple of summers. Not an easy one to execute as the summer sun makes an early departure from the scene as it disappears behind Whernside (Yorkshire's tallest peak), more than an hour before sunset, so it becomes a compromise of angles, colour, light and composition. Unfinished business this one, I will return.

 

Many thanks to MarkWaidson for the inspiration for the title with his own addiction.
