Copse of Trees, Gallows Hill, Yorkshire 'a la' Tuscany (near Kirkby Stephen, Yorkshire)
I was driving home from a solo day's photography in Yorkshire late on Monday evening in preparation for my workshop there yesterday when I passed by Nateby and I looked across to my left and saw these trees lit up like a Christmas tree.
I immediately swung the minibus around and flung it into a small section of grass verge swiftly followed by grabbing my camera and tripod while 'jogging' to the perfect spot to set up. I knew that the falling sun which was behind me would soon be too low behind some trees and the moment would be gone.
What struck me was just how dark the background was in comparison to when I passed yesterday. The scene last night looked completely 'normal' with flat light but on this particular evening, the view was truly stunning. It reminded me of Tuscany with its rolling dales and isolated trees.
What a superb way to end a beautiful day in the dales. I hope you like it. Feel free to SHARE if you wish :D
