I’ve only been to Aysgarth twice. On each occaision, the weather hasn’t been brilliant - this time was better than the first time though when I get well and truly drenched and then a few minutes later the sun was out and it got that warm I had to dispense with my coat and was walking around in a t-shirt. Then a hail storm hit! This time there was a bit of drizzle and that was about it.

The top shot was taken with the Ricoh GX100 and was an 8 second exposure with an infrared filter attached. I didn’t have my tripod with me so I balanced the camera on some rocks and used the timer. The second shot isn’t infrared. I found those roots fascinating though. I wandered around a few times before I saw an arrangement I liked the look of. It’s funny that moving a few centimetres in any direction seemed to alter the view so much. I could have spent hours taking differently composed photos of this one tree! - I didn’t though, so this is the only photo I’ve got! :)
