An inquisitive tree lover from my local park gardens. Probably on the hunt for snacks but only finding photos. I love the longing look into the mid distance pose I managed to direct.

We were walking up a hill in the North Yorkshire countryside and I decided that this scene would make a beautiful image. I used an old Helios 44-2 to capture this landscape. It almost looks like a watercolour painting.

The autumn is a special time for us as photographers; I really feel that I should spend my all time out in the wood and hills. This photograph is a result of several visits to this place. I realized that lying down on the ground will give the best perspective. Please help me raise my profile and visit my other photos in 500px.

I remember seeing a picture like this a long time ago. I knew at that point that I would have to go and experience it for myself one day. After some research, it turns out that if you wait until the end of the Summer the sun sets right at the top of the valley resulting in this magnificent sunset! I still feel like the picture doesn’t even do it justice!

Managed to get this shot about halfway through my hike the other day. I peaked the trail I was on to discover a deserted reservoir, not a person in sight. Ended up jumping the wall surrounding it to shoot some stuff, resulting in this image. Luke.x

We woke to an unexpected snowfall. The skies had lifted but there was still a bite to the cold air. We’d planned a walk over the hills to the pub in Castleton and decided not to let the lack of adequate clothing hold us back. The snow lifted the landscape and made beautiful features of countryside furniture that may otherwise have seemed untidy. This gate, serving little purpose in its current state, seemed justified in its decision to give up on its regular task.

I have always enjoyed capturing winter sceneries. This came as a spontaneous idea but turned to be not disappointing after a lonely walk along the road. Please help me to raise my profile by likes and acknowledgments. You can find my other photos at: https://500px.com/aligooya

Im a student, I live in London 9 out of the 12 months so when I visit home, there is no better feeling than breathing the fresh air and exploring my surroundings. Ashby Ville is a lake which took the life of one of my close friends when I was younger, the council took action and made the area safer and more environmentally friendly, it was great to explore the new land.

The Shambles in York feel as if you have walked straight onto a Harry Potter set. The hustle and bustle of people going in and out of the medieval shops and restaurants transported you through time.

Its quite rare that we see snow in England before Christmas. It really brings our old towns to life and gives such a great atmosphere.

So, this is during my university life. I had planned to capture light trails in Manchester since a long time. One night after dinner, a week before I was returning to my home country for summer break I suddenly decided to hit the road for light trails. For me it’s not about the end result always, it’s more about the process. Because the process he’s you to the destination and that’s not only in photography but in life everywhere.

This local national park is beautiful every season and I have been capturing each one. The trees are usually the ones I look up to but at this time of year its more about looking down. The incredible golden pathway the leaves have created only happens for maybe 4-6 weeks. The squirrels are still running around collecting for the winter. It may have been an overcast day but the colour created by nature set the tone.

After a 7 mile walk around the beautiful Gisburn Forrest in the Forrest of Bowland we were against the clock. The winer sun was setting fast and so we knew we had to take a shortcut through, what looked like, a disused track back to our car We stumbled across an old pine forrest that had been hit by a massive storm only a couple of years ago. Everything was perfect, the sun just landing on the horizon, the temperature dropping to 0c and even Wally our dog not running through shot. Amazing what you find off the beaten path

Fish and chips on the pier. Perfect on a cold day and looking very welcoming lit up and silhouetted against early evening sky

Hull Pot is essentially the remains of a cave, of which there are many in the Yorkshire Dales, where the “roof” has collapsed, leaving a giant chasm in the surrounding moorland underneath Pen-y-ghent. It’s the largest natural hole in England, measuring 300 ft long, 60 ft wide, and 60 ft deep. But arguably the main showstopper of the area is Pen-y-ghent (694 m/2,277 ft), the fell that dominates the skyline all around the Ribblesdale valley. It’s an unusual name as it sounds very Welsh; that’s because the name survives from ancient Cumbric, which is related to Welsh.

Catching the back end of storm Caroline which has given us snow showers for the last 2 days. Delamere forest gave us some pretty moody views to capture with its partially snow covered paths and frozen lakes. A change in theme for these pics leading with de-saturated oranges and greens.

We took a walk in Bradgate park, Leicestershire to try out a new camera. The park is an enclosed deer park where the deer can roam free. The path ran along side some ferns, and as we reached it, a we saw a deer disappear into the greenery, with only it’s antlers showing. We moved in line with the deer, hoping it would look up, but only when my wife started making noises with her mouth did we get it’s attention. It looked up, and straight at us, and with full zoom I managed to capture a few pictures before it ran away. I love the colours in this shot, and how the ferns frame the deer’s head.

Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a well-known circular trail beginning and ending in the village of Ingleton in the English county of North Yorkshire, now maintained by the Ingleton Scenery Company. It is claimed that the trail, some 8 kilometers (5 mi) long, and with a vertical rise of 169 m (554 feet) has some of the most spectacular waterfall and woodland scenery in the north of England.
