#Australia will recognize a #PalestinianState, PM Anthony Albanese said Monday, joining the leaders of #France, #Britain & #Canada in signaling they would do so.

His remarks followed weeks of urging from within his Cabinet & from many in Australia to recognize a #Palestinian state & amid growing criticism from officials in his government over suffering in #Gaza, which Albanese on Monday referred to as a “humanitarian catastrophe.”

NEW LOCATION KLAXON

Welcome to Crummackdale, north of Austwick, this valley is oft-overlooked but features some of the most extensive limestone pavement and scars in all of the Yorkshire Dales.

Extra bonus: Pen-y-Ghent looking like pure drama.

There's plenty more images from this day, send your eyespheres here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/7/27/crummackdale-yorkshire-dales-summer 👍

An expansive view from the top of Crummackdale, showcasing the distinctive limestone pavement that spreads broadly across the landscape. The foreground features weathered grey limestone slabs with deep fissures and clints typical of this geological formation, interspersed with patches of grass. Beyond the pavement, the land rises gently to grassy hills and ridges, bathed in dappled sunlight under a partly cloudy sky. In the distance, lush green fields and rolling hills stretch towards the horizon, creating a striking contrast with the rugged limestone. The overall scene conveys the unique natural beauty and geological character of the Yorkshire Dales uplands.

A picturesque view of Crummackdale in the Yorkshire Dales, focusing on the rugged limestone landscape known as Moughton Scar in the distance. The foreground is dominated by a traditional dry stone wall that zigzags across the green grassy hillside, leading the eye deeper into the scene. Beyond the wall, the scar itself rises with its characteristic pale limestone rock formations, patches of grass, and gentle slopes. The sky above is mostly cloudy with soft, diffused light illuminating the landscape, creating a serene and timeless rural atmosphere typical of this historic upland area in northern England.

A sweeping view of the patchwork farmland in the Yorkshire Dales, looking southwards towards the distant silhouette of Pendle Hill under a partly cloudy sky. The foreground features rolling green fields divided by traditional dry stone walls and scattered with grazing sheep and cattle. A winding narrow country lane snakes through the hills, drawing the eye deeper into the landscape. The middle distance shows a mix of farmland, woodland, and scattered farm buildings, while the far horizon reveals the iconic rounded shape of Pendle Hill, softened by a light haze. The overall atmosphere is calm and pastoral, showcasing the rural charm and agricultural heritage of this classic northern English countryside.

A dramatic landscape view of Crummackdale in the Yorkshire Dales, looking towards the distinctive flat-topped hill of Pen-y-Ghent in the distance. The scene is bathed in soft, moody light as sunlight breaks through heavy, textured clouds, casting patches of brightness on the grassy slopes and limestone cliffs below. The foreground is filled with rich green grass and rolling hills, while the middle ground reveals the pale, weathered limestone escarpments that contrast sharply with the darker, shadowed slopes of Pen-y-Ghent behind. The overall atmosphere is one of rugged natural beauty and changing weather, typical of this iconic English upland area.
