A stroll along the River Nidd at Knaresborough in the late afternoon was a lot quieter than expected. It is usually a busy place but the only person we shared this spot with was a lone cyclist. We had spotted a couple of tourists but that was about it. The sun was raking across the river casting these wonderful shadows of the railings and everything seems to take the eye to the cyclist. I made the mono conversion and used a cream tone finish.

This week seems to promise a possible start to the summer with temperatures rising from 11 degrees yesterday to 23 degrees today with more forecast to come. I’m looking forward to the sun on my back for a change!
