Translucent leaves framing West Burton waterfall, Yorkshire Dales, England


The waterfall at West Burton, in Wensleydale, is one of the most visited and photographed in the Yorkshire Dales. This image was taken on a Spring day when the fresh green translucent leaves reflected in the water at the foot of the image. It was a day of colour, but this black and white interpretation underscores the depth of the scene through the light on the leaves in the canopy and on the falling water and its subsequent passage downstream. Whether seen in black or white or in colour, the fan-shaped waterfall makes a unique contribution to the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
