Stunning Light Over Birkett Knott from Birkdale, Yorkshire Dales

I have spent the last hour trying to figure out the names of the fells in the distance but failed. You you know, please let me know. I took this photo while driving from Muker to Preston via Kirkby Stephen on Monday evening (around 6.30pm) and the light was just sublime.

 

I felt compelled to pull up the minibus, jump out, walk a hundred yards to the highest point around me and set up my Canon 5D MK4 with the 24-70mm f4 lens. The light intensified as the clouds rolled right to left. The main fell in the middle of the frame was just being kept in check by the heavy set dark, brooding sky above it. Just a magical moment to witness and capture on camera.

 

I hope you all like it and as usual, please feel FREE TO SHARE if you wish. Many thanks in advance.
