Stained Glass

Is one of my favourite things to shoot, so as I was in North Yorkshire and Westmoreland earlier on this week, I took the chance to visit three churches and get some samples.

First of all some detail from Settle Parish Church

Then I went onto the nearby village of Giggleswick where the piece above the altar just cries out to be photographed

and with a day to spare having completed my research I went to Appleby in Westmoreland. First time I've visited and a wonderful little town. Detail from the Parish Church there

Settle in North Yorkshire

So I'm back, having spent some time away on the beautiful North York Moors. Based in Settle, I had a fantastic time - although it was very, very wet. A long time since I was there - but it's still as beautiful and peaceful as it always was.

The first photo is of the beck between Ribblehead Station and the Batty Green Navvy Camps there. Nice slow shutter speed and I like the result!

Next it's Giggleswick village.

Stained glass has always been a favourite thing for me to photograph, though I've not come across a great deal of it, so the opportunity to get some detail was a welcome one
