Corn field east of Otley Most of the field boundaries on the current 1:25k appear to have been removed, leaving just one huge East Anglian style cornfield covering most of the gridsquare, shelving gently downwards towards the River Wharfe.

Stubble and straw bales east of Otley The different stages of harvesting are shown here. Bales of straw await collection on the western horizon at the gridsquare boundary, there is bare stubble in the foreground, and between them an area of recently ploughed land looks almost like a wall.

Leathley Bridge The bridge crosses the River Washburn shortly before its confluence with the Wharfe. Although vegetation obscures the river and the bridge's main span, the motorcyclist on the bridge's brow establishes the scale of the bridge. It is therefore surprising that the modest River Washburn supports such an enormous series of reservoirs on its way to this point.

Hilly cornfield, Leathley Moor The term 'moor' implies an upland location but, as seen here, it doesn't necessarily imply that the land is barren.
