Heather on the North York Moors. Egton Bridge Walks.

In late summer on the North York Moors in England, the heather blooms and the landscapes here take on another level of beauty.

For this trip I wanted to photograph some of these heather covered landscapes and decided to pay a visit to Egton High Moor as it's coated in the stuff and there is a lovely little wind battered pine tree that sits there all by itself way up high on the moors. I've called this the Lone Tree on Egton Moor.

On the particular evening I visited the wind was calm and it was very quiet. I love these places that are removed from any hint of civilisation, where there aren't any sounds and all you can here is the blowing wind - very peaceful, and quite rare in this day and age. You could also smell the aroma of heather in the air - which I'd never experienced before - it reminded me a little of pine forests but much more subtle. Such a special & unique location.
