Captured 1 March 2022 at 10:42pm with 9 x 10 seconds of live stacking, cropped to 130 x 65 arc-minutes

Using GoPro at 120 fps in superview (2.7K resolution), I stacked only lightning that did not blowout any structure. When these cloud-to-ground strikes reach the ground, for a brief millisecond, the entire frame floods out any finer details.

On the lookout in Rosedale.

Sounds better than opium poppy, of which this is the garden variety!

On the city walls looking towards Lendal Bridge, the Lendal Tower and the Minster in the background.

In spite of the easing of some Covid restrictions, York was a ghost town, with some of the areas normally crammed with tourists and shoppers, like the medieval Shambles, being almost empty mid-morning.

on the outskirts of the village of Rosedale Abbey, North Yorkshire.

Hobb is the Old English term for a goblin (as in hobgoblin), similar to the Irish leprechaun.

There was a tradition of leaving a coin on top of the cross when you passed by, so that poorer travellers could have some money to pay for a drink at the nearby Lion Inn at Blakey.

Some wild flowers in a meadow just outside Rosedale Abbey, including harebells, knapweed and hawksbeard.

A very nice example of the Alvis TF 21 Series IV two door saloon, parked by Gillies Jones art glass studio in Rosedale Abbey.

Production of the TF 21 stopped in 1967, being the last model produced by the firm until the 'continuation' series started up again a few years ago. A new example of the TF 21 will cost around £250,000! This car was bought in 1971 for £700 by the current owner and is now worth around £100,000 in its present condition.
