One of the many things I thoroughly enjoyed about my trip to England, was the moors. My cousin Gary and I went to Ilkley Moor, just north of Leeds and had a wonderful day. When we arrived at the top of the Moor, where the heather grows, we lunched on a tasty Cornish pasty, it's a warm flaky pastry with a meat filling. Wonderful! Then after putting on our jackets, we set off hiking to the Cow and the Calf. These are two huge boulders. Not boulders by our Canadian standards but much,
much bigger. If you look closely you can see Gary and myself, walking side by side up the narrow path beside these two ginormous rocks. We hiked around the rocks and then around the very large "crater" that forms part of the rock formation. We were glad to get back to the car, at the end, and get out of the wind that was howling around the Moors. This oil is 12"x24" on canvas.
