In late August, the heather covering the moorland of the North York Moors comes into flower, painting the landscape in a soft reddy purple hue. It brings a different dimension to the hills and vales who’s seasonal visual variety ranges from barren winter tones to the bright yellow and reds of summer. I’d headed out to the Commondale/ Castleton Rigg area, to capture the setting sun as it lit the hills and moors.

Art is in the Street: Posters at Musée d’Orsay
A major exhibition in Paris highlights the role of posters both in Belle Epoque France from both artistic, cultural and historical viewpoints
Strong competition for any Scottish moorland !
Early to mid august would be the prime time to visit and view.
A most amazing and lovely landscape (with tip of the hat to its Scottish counterpart). When is a good time for a tourist to see the heather in bloom? I know some folks that would plan a trip just to see these colors.
