Colour me once, colour me twice

[venta]

So. Colour bars.

So, secutatrix has been offering to make people colour bars, to suit the topic of their choice. I think this refers to the sheep a while ago which drew a pretty rainbow bar for you, and and said "x is love" where x was something from your interests list.

I requested a colour bar for "north". Secutatrix made me one, for which thank her very much:



Which is nicely executed, but it's a bit, well, grim.

So, I thought I'd try and construct one myself out of images which I associate with home, and try and demonstrate that actually there's some quite nice bits.



Now, allowing for Secutatrix being a lot more ept with her graphics software than I am, and having made her colours much nicer, wouldn't you agree that mine's a much better north ?

I'm curious as to whether any of my images are identifiable, given the size and colour shiftedness.

I say, that's a fabulous escarpment, I've no idea where it is. I almost got Fountains Abbey, and did get Whitby although a lot of seaside looks like that, and the waterfall might be one near Malham but might not and in any case that's probably not useful.

The escarpment is in the Cleveland Hills; you can see it if you're driving near Middlesbrough - and face it, if you're driving near Middlesbrough, looking the other way at some nice hills is a smart move.

The hill in question is called Roseberry Topping - a lovely name, which I've always mentally associated with Dream Topping on account of it looking like a peaked dollop of some kind of dessert. At least, it does when you're four.

I'd like to climb Roseberry Topping one day. I never have, because it's been shut for years. Too many people shared my ambition, and the poor hill was getting worn away. I think it might be open again now.

I don't think High Force is near Malham, no. Though googling to check did provide me with the information that Malham Cove did used to be a waterfall - that must have looked stunning. I wonder where we'd have to flood to get it back.

Try Wales first.

You, sir, either have a vindictive desire to flood Wales, or a very poor grasp of geography.

Or you know something hitherto undiscovered about Britain's flood plains.
