Readers of the Darlington & Stockton Times and North Yorkshire News newspapers may have noticed that one of my images was chosen as a first prize winner in Richmondshire District Council’s Plan Our Future competition. The image will now be displayed at various locations within the district.
The winning image was a view of Cauldron Falls at West Burton in Bishopdale, a fantastic waterfall that never ceases to look different every time I visit. This occasion was not for the faint hearted either, it was a balmy -5′c with regular snow flurries and conditions underfoot that were treacherous with ice hidden below the sprinkling of snow. I knew that the recent cold spell would possibly freeze some of the water but I was amazed at the size of the icicles on the waterfall. It was a magical if not cold experience.

beautiful…
Thanks Brian
I was just passing and found your blog and this image by chance. Nice work, just shows it’s always worth a try …
Great Photography
I was on another site that offered a Java Script download and was reffered to your site.
Note I am in the US and trust me on one page you wrote about getting wet and trust me I have now idea what the following items are. Welly and Midges.
“Falling into Lochan Nah Achlaise on Rannoch Moor, Glencoe not once but two days in row. Lost my welly in the mud, used up all my clothing for the trip and had to continue in just a pair of shorts and t-shirt. The midges just ripped me to shreds!!!!”
Have a great day. And keep up the great work!
Thanks Paul & Andrew, Wellies (or Wellington Boots) are probably the most important piece of footwear for me especially when standing in rivers and streams. Don’t want wet feet!! If you ever go to the Scottish Highlands you’ll soon discover what midges are, unrelenting little insects that seem to have too much of a liking for me!!
I just happend upon your blog and enjoyed viewing some of your work. I want to just escape into this photograph! God’s creation just amazes me.
Thank you, I’m very pleased to hear you enjoyed the images.
