Edingley Beck (January 2021)

Edingley Beck runs in a broad north-easterly direction from farmland to the west of Edingley to the River Greet in Kirklington. The Greet then makes it way to River Trent at Fiskerton.

The beck’s direction makes it ideal for afternoon photography with warming side-lighting describing the character of the trees which line the stream’s bank. I particularly enjoy one tree, which I believe is an ash. At first glance it might look dead but there are leaves on one side of the tree during the spring and summer.

These were some of the results from a very enjoyable session and reminder that even when I am restricted to local photography due to Covid, there is still plenty to capture, particularly when the light is right:















Several alder trees that line the beck at Edingley, including the one shown immediately above. At this time of year they are laden with ruby coloured catkins which then glow in the warm afternoon sunlight.   



Also glowing were some tall poplars taken both on arrival at the beck and then again before the walk home:
