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.

Sorry, it's been a while since my last update. June and July have been... TUMULTUOUS.

Here are the Duddo Five Stones! Roughly 4,000 years old, just north of their namesake village. A mystical and timeless place, aided by dramatic skies.

This detailed close-up image highlights the textured surface of another of the Duddo Five Stones in Northumberland, England. The stone features deep vertical grooves and ridges, with a rugged, weather-beaten appearance. The surface is adorned with diverse patches of lichen in shades of pale grey, green, and subtle yellow, adding a natural mosaic effect. The rough, uneven stone shows signs of age and exposure to the elements, with soft natural light accentuating the stone’s contours and the delicate growth of the lichens, emphasising the historic and enduring nature of the standing stones.

The weathered stone is characterised by deep vertical grooves and irregular contours, covered in various patches of pale grey and green lichen as well as small tufts of moss. The natural light highlights the rough, uneven surface, emphasising the stone’s ancient, timeworn character and the quiet resilience of the lichen growing on it, set against a subtle backdrop of grass at the base.

UK, France and 23 other countries say the war in Gaza ‘must end now’

[now let's see if they do something]

from #AssociatedPress#AP#APNews
By SYLVIA HUI and JILL LAWLESS
Updated 1:05 PM EDT, July 21, 2025

LONDON (AP) — Twenty-five countries including #Britain, #France and a host of #European nations issued a joint statement on Monday that puts more pressure on #Israel, saying the war in #Gaza “must end now” and Israel must comply with international law.

The foreign ministers of countries including #Australia, #Canada and #Japan said “the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.” They condemned “the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food.”

The statement described as “horrifying” the deaths of over 800 #Palestinians who were seeking aid...

The British Medical Association severs links with Israel! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

#GazaGenocide#BDS#Britain

BMA SEVERS LINKS WITH ISRAEL As a result of a series of motions (see below) to its Annual Reps Meeting last week, adopted by large majorities, the BMA (British Medical Association (the medics’ union)) is now mandated to break off relations with the Israel Medical Association (IMA), and to seek suspension of the IMA from the World Medical Association (WMA). MOTIONS: The five pro-Palestine motions were passed with large majorities at the Liverpool conference. The conference is the supreme authority in the BMA, and establishes policy for the organisation. It mandated the BMA to do the following: © Oppose the adoption of the Palantir data platform throughout the NHS o Affirmed that criticism of Israel is not antisemitic] © Oppose the victimisation of medical students and healthcare workers who have advocated for Palestine © Condemn the destruction of healthcare services and the killing of healthcare workers in Gaza, demand the immediate release of detained HCWs in Gaza; and urge the UK government to support the ICC and ICJ in holding accountable those guilty of war crimes, including Israeli doctors who have participated in or supported torture of Palestinians in Israeli jails. © Suspend engagement with the Israeli Medical Association until it affirms. medical neutrality and condemns attacks on healthcare in Gaza. The BMA said the numerous motions on Palestine reflected “the grave concerns that doctors in the UK have about the Gaza conflict”.
