Drama on the Moors

Young Ralph's Cross

Wednesday 27th May 2015

Out doing my Cleveland Way Volunteers work today at the top end of the route in Guisborough woods. It was a dry pleasant day, until just before we finished, when it started to rain. I drove down through Castleton and by the time I reached 'Young Ralph's Cross' (above) high up on the moors at the Westerdale junction it was dark clouds and raining heavily. I parked the car and ran over the road in the rain to get a picture of the cross, which is the symbol of The North York Moors National Park. I looked up at the cross and the clouds and decided then and there on a moody black and white image. The white dots are flowers.
