" The Yorkshire Dales is the place where I spent much of my early years, and where I came to love landscape photography amid the stunning scenery that you cannot fail to find around almost every corner.
To the dry stone walls, the barns and the dramatic limestone scenery for which the Yorkshire Dales will always be known, can be added the wild flowers and the spring meadows. The Dales have been farmed and worked by man for thousands of years and the result is a variety of landscapes in which man's hand and nature have blended together in a truly wonderful way. The Yorkshire Dales has a special character of its own, for it is at once a harsh and unforgiving landscape but also a place of tranquillity and sublime beauty."
