View from the top of Malham Cove.
Malham Cove is a natural limestone formation in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, 1 km north of the village of Malham, North Yorkshire, England. A well-known beauty spot, it is a large, curved limestone cliff at the head of a valley, with a fine area of limestone pavement at the top. On the west side of the 80 metre / 260 feet high cliff face are about 400 irregular stone steps: these form part of the route of the "Pennine Way" long-distance (approx. 270 miles) footpath.

Camera: Olympus AZ1 (low resolution by today's standards...only 3 megapixels).

Nice shooting, and what a beautiful outcrop! Are there any fossils in that limestone? That's what I'd be searching for.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this in www.ipernity.com/group/thelittlepond.

Yes, plenty of marine fossils...mainly fragmented "crinoids" (a type of sea lilly which still exists today). The boundary walls around farm fields are constructed mainly of limestone in this area. You can pick up almost any piece and you'll find fossils in it (but don't let the farmer see you :-)).
