Blue skies over Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales, Wensley Dale to be precise. River Ure looking peaceful and calm.
The River Ure is a river in North Yorkshire, England, approximately 74 miles (119 km) long from its source to the point where it changes name to the River Ouse. It is the principal river of Wensleydale, which is the only one of the major Dales now named after a village rather than its river. The old name for the valley was Yoredale after the river that runs through it.
The Ure is one of many rivers and waterways that drain the Dales into the River Ouse. Tributaries of the Ure include the River Swale and the River Skell.
Further up on Grey Crag. This stile needed some careful negotiation!

Happy Fence Friday!
You get a wonderful view of the triangular shaped peak of Tryfan as you descend the path from Pen Yr Ole Wen.
I've stopped numerous times at this stile and it usually makes a nice image despite the grey gloomy conditions I had on this day in the Eryri National Park..
Well, if you are going to get it wrong, do it properly and get it completely wrong.
I came over a stile on the Llandegfedd reservoir circular trail and found myself confronted with ... another stile. With no fence around it. It was clearly newer than the one that I had just crossed, but utterly without purpose.
Interesting, in a mad sort of way. HFF!
Hopping across the C&NW grade, former Reserve Mining 1221 passes the interlocking signal for the Stiles Junction plant, which is long gone.
The Long Stile ridge leading to the summit of High Street reflected in the waters of the small tarn at Caspel Gate.

I had a walk out to the sea front at Rossall Point for a bit of late light and salt sea air, always good for the soul!
This stile has some wonderful carvings on its wood frame and the light was really good for about 10 minutes before the cloudy horizon killed any chance of sunset. Still it was great to get out after watching the final of the Open Golf Championships on TV.
You can just make out the Cumbrian Coast and Lakeland hills across the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay.
Stile. Abstract. Stile in abstract style :)
On an afternoon walk last week I came across this recently built stile over a fence. I was rather intrigued by the interlocking shapes of different lightnesses, and the textures of the wood.
I thought I'd try it in B&W (slightly brown toned in this case) to isolate those elements. I've done very little B&W work so it's all a bit of an experiment...
For the 7DWF:B&W and Sepia Thursday :)
Also for Fence Friday. HFF!
I hope you enjoy the image. Thanks for your visit and looking.
[Handheld in daylight. Processed in LR for moderate exposure and contrast. Sharpened vigorously (especially the highlights) in Topaz Detail; converted and toned with Topaz B&W using various colour filters and tweaks to darken the grass but enhance the texture and to give different lightness to the different shapes, slightly brown tone paper with blue tone silver, some grain added. Slight dark vignette.]
9M54 Edinburgh to Birmingham International formed of 222107 and 221112 framed in the concrete stile at Slindon as they rush south towards Stafford, a nice touch that the fence posts are repurposed railway sleepers.
Swirling mists around the Long Stile ridge and to the left, Riggindale, with Haweswater in the background.
A walk through a beautiful woodland setting lined with bluebells and buttercups and the occasional stile to negotiate.
L’Abbazia di San Galgano sorge in Toscana nella pianura dell’alta Valdimerse, in provincia di Siena.
In mezzo ai campi, in posizione isolata, con le sua ampie navate rivolte al cielo, la chiesa abbaziale costituisce un monumento insigne dello stile gotico-cistercense in Italia.
Il nobile Galgano Guidotti, nato nel 1148, dopo una vita di dissolutezza, si ritirò a vita penitenziale sulle colline di Montesiepi.
Galgano venne canonizzato nel 1185 (dopo soli 4 anni dalla morte), e in suo onore il vescovo di Volterra promosse la costruzione di una piccola cappella.
Nel 1218 iniziarono invece i lavori della grande chiesa abbaziale (69mt di lunghezza e 29 di larghezza), prendendo come modello le chiese cistercensi francesi; la chiesa venne consacrata nel 1288. Alla fine del XII la l’Abbazia raggiunse l’apice del suo splendore. Purtroppo già nel XIII sec. iniziò il declino della comunità monastica di San Galgano.
Nel XVI sec. iniziarono i primi cedimenti strutturali della chiesa abbaziale, nel 1781 crollò quello che rimaneva delle volte e nel 1786 crollò il campanile. La chiesa venne infine sconsacrata nel 1789.
Solo alla fine dell’800 l’interesse verso il monumento riprese a all’inizio del ‘900 venne condotto un restauro conservativo per consolidare quanto era rimasto della struttura originaria.
----------
Saint Galgano abbey is located in Tuscany (Italy), not far from Siena town.
It is one of the most representative buildings of the gothic-cistercian architecture in Italy.
Galgano Guidotti was an Italian noble man born in 1148; after a life of dissoluteness, he decided to retire to penitential life in a place very near to here. He died in 1181 and in 1185 he was canonized.
In 1218 they started the works for the big abbatial church (69mt length, 29mt width), taking as model the French Cistercian church. The church was dedicated in 1288.
At the end of XII cent. the community of the abbey reached the maximum splendour, but in the XIII the decadence started. In XVI cent. the first structural settling started in the church, in 1781 what remained of the roof ruined, in 1786 the bell tower fell down and in 1789 the church was desecrated.
Only at the end of 1800 the interest toward the building restarted and at the beginning of 1900 a restoration was done in order to consolidate what remained of the church structure.
I'm sure there used to be a stile here, now it's a kissing gate, but this spot along the Cotswold Way near Bath is still called Prospect Stile with a lovely view over Kelston Round Hill. We parked at Bath Park and Ride this week and walked the six miles along the Cotswold Way into Bath, a lovely city to approach this way. And after a well earned cuppa, got the bus back.
HFF and 53/100
Standing on what used to be the former Chicago Northwestern line to Oconto Falls, the diamond is long gone at this old Milwaukee Road main line.
What a fantastic spring morning high up in the Yorkshire Pennines and what a fabulous spot to spend some time waiting for the returning Preston - Lindsey tanks, whilst waiting I caught a couple of Northern Class 195 units easing through the speed restriction across Lydgate Viaduct.

I spent a thoroughly enjoyable morning capturing this and a couple of other workings along the Copy Pit line, I’ve put together a short video of my mornings photographic exploits youtu.be/-TjPMIdN4GA
An extra obstacle on the way :-)
I started from Brothers Water, and did Hartsop above How, Hart Crag, Dove Crag, Little Hart Crag and High Hartsop Dodd before collapsing back in the car at Brothers Water.. lol.
I was walking on the coastal path near llandecwyn and you have to go over the stile and railway track.
On walk towards Bath on the Cotswold Way...about five miles to go. We stopped here to have our picnic and enjoy the views.
HFF!
...everything looks very green, and our walking boots were begging for an outing.
This is on The Limestone Way just outside the very pretty village of Winster.
