Here comes the sun...

4 October reached Explore #15! Wow, thanks people!

So, a little background to the shot...

Ribblehead Viaduct is in North Yorkshire on the famous Leeds-Settle-Carlisle railway which passes through some of England's most stunning countryside.

In August I came across from Brussels to visit my granny, my parents also travelled up. We went to Wensleydale (of Wallace & Gromit cheese fame - my favourite cheese after Lancashire) to visit friends of my granny's and on the way back down from Hawes we approached Ribblehead as a mist descended and lifted again, I managed to take a few shots. The only editing is with the levels and burning the bottom corners a little.

Thanks Dave! I can but respond:
