Think of me as a stranger who knows...

An unusually warm February day in Marsden prompts the resident to put their washing out.
Some fine stone-built terrace houses here which would certainly have no problem coping with the normally tough wintry conditions endured in this part of the world.

Millstone Grit is an informal term for gritstones which are found in Pennines and the Peak District. These sediments were laid down in the Paleozoic era, in the Carboniferous period, about 360 million to 300 million years ago. Gritstone is a hard, coarse grained, siliceous sandstone, the name is given to sandstones which are quarried for building material. British gritstone was used for millstones to mill flour, to grind wood into pulp for paper and for grindstones to sharpen blades.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
When pheasants wake up from wherever they roost at night, they often make a beeline for roads in order to eat some gravel or other grit that they then use throughout the day to grind up any food in their gizzard. Quite the ingenious way they have been designed.
As my wife and I meandered our way through the countryside last weekend we noticed how much snow was still hanging on to trees which is a little surprising with all the wind we have had recently.
Believe it or not this shot is right next to the road. All that black grit is from the road plows . I had hoped to make it here before DOT plowed the Seward Highway as it would have been way more photogenic but that was not to happen this time around.
The True Grit of Dartmoor, as the Sun goes down behind Great Staple Tor it sends a lovely little Sunburst through a gap in the Huge Granite Rocks, with so much Myth and Legend, Dartmoor has to be one of my favourite places, and this one of my many favourite Tors to photograph.
With the Wildlife now easing off for me I shall be getting my eye back in on the Land/Seascapes over the next month or so, having said that I have hundreds of Wildlife pics to post so will be trying to keep my photostream content varied for all that follow my ramblings :)

A view through the clearing low cloud from the summit of Grit Fell looking towards Ward's Stone, the highest point in the Forest of Bowland. The cairn is built from the very pale grey gritstone found on this part of the hill.

I think that phrase is pretty apt in this case! Rays of light illuminate the distant Upper Wharfe Valley, whilst "Bingley Man" contemplates his next shot stood amongst the heather and Gritstone.
You can see it was pretty cold for late July with a strong wind blowing across the fell and Terry was wrapped up, as best he could, as he looked down towards Appletreewick and Burnsall in the distance!
