Herb Riddle's photos with the keyword: Pen-y-ghent

Trying to capture a photo when the landscape is in deep shadow is asking for trouble but the clouds parted a little to let this corridor of light appear just at the mountains foot. The temptation is to turn up the brilliance a little but that would have spoiled the whole atmosphere of this.

Just north of the Yorkshire Dales village of Settle lies another smaller village called Langcliffe. Travelling through this village, up a very steep incline, this position can be reached. The limestone outcrops here are always a feature of this area and provides lightness, even on a dull early Spring day as this. Notice too, the snow on one of Yorkshire's highest hills at 649m which is a third of the famous 'Three Peak' hills around here. The three Peaks which also include Whernside and Ingleborough is famous for its 'challenge' walk/run. More info: www.threepeakschallenge.uk/yorkshire-three-peaks-challenge
