Fishing The Ure At Masham
2019-10-29 Hackfall Woods 02
This session with the camera was to a downstream stretch of the river to a place called Hackfall woods. Here is a route of the walk. I found more spots to experiment with exposure timings to capture some more interesting texture of water images for the collection. I also came across more tree parts for images.
About Masham
Masham – originally Maessa’s Ham – probably owed its foundation to the gentle, flood-proof rise on which it stands, near an easily fordable part of the River Ure, together with its proximity to the course of a Roman road and its position on the main route from Wensleydale to York.
The present square with its beautiful Georgian houses was created in the 18th century. The huge market place would originally have been surrounded by thatched cottages and was the site for annual Sheep Fairs with over 80,000 heads of sheep being sold some years, including animals from the flocks of nearby Fountains and Jervaulx Abbeys.
