- Sunday May 11, A walk on The Moor
- There’s a popular song about the region (Ilkley Moor) that we see every morning from “our” apartment in England – rain and mist permitting! It may be amusing (or indecipherable) to some but is presented here as an introduction to a beautiful walk that I took on that moor today. The sun shone, the rain came in torrents, clouds predominated – but, within a mile of the apartment, I saw some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain that is Ilkla Mooar. I hope that the pictures below allow you to enjoy the walk with me.
- Wheear ‘ast tha bin sin’ ah saw thee, ah saw thee?**
- On Ilkla Mooar baht ‘at
- Wheear ‘ast tha bin sin’ ah saw thee, ah saw thee?
- Wheear ‘ast tha bin sin’ ah saw thee?
- On Ilkla Mooar baht ‘at
- On Ilkla Mooar baht ‘at
- On Ilkla Mooar baht ‘at
