Brimham Rocks ~ Lone Tree

Brimham Rocks ~ Lone Tree
A trip to Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire is a delightful one for photographers and children alike. A giant playground of fanciful rocks that look more man carved than natures. Here we see one of my favourite subjects, a ‘lone-tree’ growing almost miraculously from a crack and soil laden shelf on/in the bare rock itself . (A photo from the other side to come.)

Brimham Rocks, once known as Brimham Crags, is a 183.9-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is known for its water- and weather-eroded rocks, which were formed over 325 million years ago and have assumed fantastic shapes. Lots of the rocks, made of sandstone, have old druid names such as Druids Alta, Druids Writing desk etc.

Those rock formations are amazing Herb...........and you've captured their shapes and textures beautifully. Mother Nature is a has done a wonderful (if slow) job of sculpting this landmark.

The lone tree is exceptional..............I love the way it seems to be clinging on to the rocks and struggling to grow upwards. I wonder how long it's taken to get that far?

A brilliant shot Herb. 10/10
