It's the end of the summer holidays.

Just as a heatwave arrives!

So we got up nice and early to hike to Colwith Force, snapping some gorgeous woodland and waterfall scenery. Added extra, swirling mist and fog burning away from the mountain tops.

Plenty more photos from this day are waiting for you right here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2023/9/6/colwith-force-lake-district-autumn 👍

A view from right next alongside a crashing waterfall, seperated by crags, and its river winds off into the distance.
A winding path cuts through a field towards a forest, with mountains barely visible above as the mist and fog swirls around their tops.
A country lane, framed by bushes, trees, and dry stone walls, leads the eye towards the rust-coloured craggy fells in the distance on a sunny day.

Join me in wandering around the ancient village of Dent.

An ancient church, centuries old buildings, cobbled streets, all sat snug in a steep valley.

Loads more photos of this place are waiting for your eyeballs here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2023/9/2/dent-yorkshire-dales-autumn 👍

Old sandstone and whitewashed cottages frame the road as it leads towards the high fell in the distance with a sunbeam scanning across it.
A pub and an old bank point the way into the cobbled streets of the village.
A clump of mossy boulders nearby with natural steps leading up towards the high canopy of the gorge.

A Bank Holiday Monday meant a day out with me Dad.

We embarked on a wee wander around Hawes, an ancient market town slap bang in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales.

A footpath winds its way to an old Yorkshire town with fells in the distance.
Nearby, in the centre, a sheep grazes next to some old buildings. Trees line the photo and give way to the rolling folds of the valley in the distance.
A road winds down through the town lined with old cottages as a flat-topped hill rises high in the distance.

Hello to all the new followes, courtesy of @FediFollows !

With all the rain we've in Northern England in July, it's a good bet to check out some waterfalls. In the Lake District, Stockghyll Force in Ambleside is definitely one of the more accessible ones.

July has been unseasonably cool, stormy, and wet in the UK.

Fed up of the rain, we threw caution to the wind for a hike up to Hayeswater.

We got drenched. But also, got some epic photos!

There's plenty more of them from this day here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2023/7/18/hayeswater-lake-district-summer 👍

Folding forms of the lake shore serve as a leading line towards the fell rising above the tarn as clouds drift in and cover the tops.
Looking down the trail, a gap in the clouds illuminates the green hillsides and valley bottom, with the mountains rising above.
An advancing squal drenches the distant mountains, as the criss-crossing hills lead the viewer into the image.

Time for somewhere a little different.

We enjoyed a long weekend break in and around Marsden, nestled in the South Pennines of West Yorkshire.

Although conditions were less than favourable, I still walked away with some reasonable photos.

There's plenty more for your viewing pleasure here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2023/7/3/marsden-west-yorkshire-summer 👍

Tarn Hows is always a good bet for a lovely summer evening's walk.

It's all looking a bit dry now though.

Crina Bottom is a 400-year farmstead in the Yorkshire Dales, situated above Ingleton and below the peak of Ingleborough.

Around here you can also enjoy some fantastic limestone rock formations, known in local dialect as "clints" and "grikes".

Strong evening side light from the left illuminates a scene of limestone boulders, each with their own glaciated curves and form, with a flat-topped mountain rising in the distance.
A farm track leads to an old Yorkshire farmstead, with a drystone wall pointing the rest of the way towards the flat-topped mountain.

The morning of my 40th birthday.

We got up before the sun and made our way to the Ogwen valley, one of my favourite areas in all of North Wales.

The light did not disappoint.

More photos, and the story of this place, for you here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2023/5/3/ogwen-valley-snowdonia-north-wales-spring

Newborough beach and Ynys Llanddwyn are magical places.

We couldn't have asked for better conditions to shoot this special area of Anglesey.
