Bluebell Wood
Happy Monday all, hope your week goes well.
Here we have a shot from yesterday while out walking with friends, couldn’t believe just how much a blanket the bluebells made across the forest floor.
Back in The Peaks tomorrow, maybe check out the burial ground in the news

Rapeseed Field
Friday at last and I had some wonderful news yesterday.
My Shot Rapeseed Field will be on the big screens at Meadowhall shopping complex long term advertising a printing company. This shot also appeared in Mosaic magazine last year and a write up. Polarised saturation coupled with pin sharp subjects made this a great seller and it still sells from my old site, must move it over today.
One more post to come today before Anglesey seascapes week, cant wait, Jo and Stormy too

Duke of Argyll's Column
Just spent a wonderful afternoon walking round Wentworth Castle Barnsley, right on my doorstep as well which makes a change from all the tramming about I have to do. Started off sitting in the main event field with deer all around, beautiful animals and one was so tame it came within a few feet of me and Stormy, April the Wentworth Visitor Officer came over to us and explained Lucy the deer looked a little poorly so hopefully she’s arranged for some medical help for her, this been the reason she came so close, poor dear excuse the pun.
Anyway April gave a potted guide around the estate and I’m arranging to go back in and do some event work and private work too, its certainly a fantastic estate and very much worth a visit, we only had a couple of hours there but I would imaging a full day is needed to fully appreciate the vast expanse and wealth of history you can take in.
We only walked a short while and came across the Duke of Argyll’s column
The column was built in 1743 to commemorate John, Duke of Argyll, father in law to William Wentworth and an important agent for the Act of Union with Scotland and surprisingly, in getting King George I to take the British throne. The column is modelled on one in Rome at Santa Maria Maggiore and instead of an angel has a statue of Fame on the top.
Certainly curious as to how it was built so high up there, a credit to the stone masons and sculptures alike indeed.
Will be back there soon to catalogue and build a Wentworth brochure/calendar
Very much worth a visit, its open 364 days a year and the coffee is great

Roseberry Topping
Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill on the border between North Yorkshire and the borough of Redcar and Cleveland, England. It is situated near Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in Switzerland. It forms a symbolic image of the area and featured as the logo for the now defunct Cleveland County.
must climb up there one day soon
