Another lone-tree on our limestone peaks around Langcliffe in the Yorkshire Dales. Taken in 2011, obviously a very active year for me and my camera. Enjoy full screen.

Another tree from this favourite little spot up in our Yorkshire Dales near the small town of Settle. This is limestone country and so the chalky rocky breaks easily –easy enough for a tree root to take hold anyway. See PiP for a favourite tree only a short distance from this. Enjoy the day.

Around Settle and Langcliffe in our Yorkshire Dales there are a few limestone outcrops. Here we see one dominated by this lone tree. In the distance sits one of Yorkshires three peaks: Pen-y-ghent. The PiP shows a similar one not too far from here. Enjoy

Just above the picturesque village of Langcliffe and the town of Settle is this exquisite countryside. A grand place for walking with its many footpaths and byways through natural landscapes of hills, peaks, farmland and moors dotted with small babbling brooks and rocky gullies.

Another dry-stone wall for you here. Taken from a very nice spot above the village of Langcliffe near Settle. The late light gives this photo a special feel as it reflects from the lime-stone and clouds. Enjoy full screen Have a good day.

A view of the Dales above Settle and Langcliffe showing the typical pictorial landscape around here. Of course these Herdwick sheep are as much a part of the scenery as the limestone outcrops with lone trees. Enjoy large.

Enjoy this view of Pen-y-gent from high above the Yorkshire Dales village of Langcliffe. It is the lowest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks at 2,277 feet (694m), the other two peaks being Ingleborough and Whernside. In the foreground we have the familiar lime-stone pavement (flat pieces of lime-stone rock swept clean of surface soil by the weather) that is dotted with trees in some places and somehow manage to grow through the cracks. Just behind the pavement we see the dry-stones walls all too familiar in this part of the world too. Built when woodland around here was scarce to build fences and in any event, built to last, doing the twin jobs of marking out one’s land boundaries and also having the more practical purpose of keeping sheep and cattle from straying.
