Trees on Embleton Moor The foreground land in the image may well have the appearance of moorland but the name Embleton Moor is surely historic as the terrain generally in this area is fully cultivated. The view is from close to (but not on) a bridleway about to descend into the shallow valley, Bedlam Gill.

Ploughed field with lone tree The view along the furrows of the field is towards Embleton Old Hall. OS mapping at 1:25 000 suggests that there should be a field boundary between the camera position and the hall. It's possible that once there was a hedge dividing the field and that the lone tree is a surviving remnant of it.

Farm road with willows The road, also the route of a public footpath, is heading generally north from Embleton Old Hall. The tall, dense crop stands are willows, grown in part as cover for pheasants - a shoot was going on at the time the photograph was taken - and also for harvesting as biomass, for burning in appropriately equipped power stations.

Gravestones at abandoned church at Embleton I'm sure that the people putting flowers on these graves never imagined that they would end up in such a sorry neglected state.
