MalhamBy Steven Kirby | ||

Situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park around 60km North West of Leeds is a small village known as Malham,
the natural geological features surrounding the village make it a tourist hotspot in the summer months, hence the reason for us to
visit the place out of season.

After passing through the village we headed straight out to the North East to locate Malham Tarn. After finding a faded sign post
indicating the general direction to go we dressed up in warm weather clothes and water proofs, it was November after all, then set out over the Dales.
The Tarn, is very impressive but is devoid of exciting photographic features.

Moving around the banks of the Tarn I managed to get an impressive set of photos showing different lighting and textures from around the area. Right "Malham Tarn" Shot with a Canon D30 + 28-135USM IS. |

Turning around and heading back up the farm road to our vehicle I noticed an interesting tree in the distance. Right "Farm Road" Shot with a Canon D30 + 28-135USM IS. |

This shot is one of about 20 taken of various parts of this tree, I took it as a silhouette and once I decided which one I liked the most, I ran a purple filter of it for no good reason, I do think that the final version has a greater impact though.

Turning away from Malham Tarn and towards the Car Park, I lined this shot up of Paul and Richard on a hillock, deciding which direction to go to find the car. Left "Paul n Rich" Shot in 2002 with a Canon D30 + 28-135USM IS. |

I hope you enjoyed my Road trip report for Malham. There you go I promised that I'd create a non castle orientated road trip next.
