When we first moved to Guisborough in 1993, I immediately fell under the spell of Roseberry Topping, a distinctive and iconic landmark with fine views across North Yorkshire and Cleveland, that is situated just a few miles away.
At just 1,049 feet (320 m) high, it may not be the biggest hill you'll ever see, but it will certainly be one of the most distinctive. Its shape, caused by the combination of a geological fault and a mining collapse in 1912 has made the hill the most beloved landmark in the Tees Valley area.
One of the few framed photographs we own is actually of a sunset at Roseberry Topping, so when I saw that the Sunday Challenge for this week was sunsets I immediately thought of using that as a subject.
I spent a few hours one afternoon walking the area around it to try and find a vantage point similar to said framed photo and, having done that, returned just before sunset to set up operations.
This is my first real attempt at shooting a sunset and that combined with an absence of much in the way of clouds meant that the finished product wasn't as colourful as I might have liked. So, I guess Joe Cornish won't be losing any sleep over my efforts.
Some were too light, some too dark and many were spoiled by an abundance of noise, so I obviously have much to learn. However, I did get a few that I liked and this is possibly my favourite.
