Photo of the Month: August 2013

Sunlight-over-the-lawns

Late summer sunlight shines over the Lawns at Slingsby | Photographs by Richard Flint

The sunshine was coming and going today, thanks to a number of large clouds that had the habit of getting in the way of the sun.

There are actually two versions of this photo. the first has the Lawns lit up with sunlight but the field and tramlines seen in the foreground are in shadow. This second photo occurred just a second or two later when the light had washed across the field.

Do you have a great photograph you’d like to share with us?

The summer really arrived in July and Slingsby managed to get a good dose of hot sunny weather over the month.

Rob Racenis has sent in this photo which beautifully shows the weather we’ve been experiencing. The image was taken around the middle of the month along the disused railway track looking towards Caulkleys Bank. It’s a stunning image. Thanks for sending it in Rob.
