[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Troller's Gill is a sinister little ravine at the head of Trollerdale near Skyreholme and the village of Appletreewick in the "Barden Triangle" area of the Yorkshire Dales.

Legend has it that this narrow limestone gorge is the haunt of the "Barquest" or "Barguest" - the terrifying spectral hound of Craven (which is said to have "eyes as big as saucers").

The nooks, caves and crannies of Troller's Gill are also said to be the home of Scandinavian trolls*, evil bloodsucking gnomes, flesh-eating boggarts, hideous gargoyle-like rock sprites, deranged goblins, predatory pixies and maliciously twisted imps - and perhaps even other sorts of similarly diabolical and fiendishly unpleasant beings lying in wait for the unsuspecting rambler...

Hi Mark,I elected to mark your notes useful, in the sense that if ever I'm in this area I will know to avoid it,
bloodsucking gnomes & flesh eating boggarts I will leave for you to capture :)
I like you POV it gave a strong composition ,did you use a software such as Adobe etc,to get these great colours they certainly add to the mood of this scene.

A lovely scene Mark, I love to see these old farm buildings and this one has still got good strong walls.Have you been playing with the colour?
Your notes are interesting and like Ron, I think that I will be avoiding this place if what you say is true!
Tfs, regards Jean.
