The Chevin Cross

Every Easter a cross is raised near where I live on Otley Chevin.
It is made out of wood recovered from the Manchester IRA bombings.
It symbolises that good can come from hatred and evil.
I ran off a few shots whilst walking Belle up there tonight and here are a couple of them.

No. 2 for me as well, although it would be nice to get rid of the guy ropes.

The ropes add a sense of size and purpose to the cross. I think without them it would look more surreal/pretty which is good, but on this occasion, I believe that the essence of the cross is what it is.

Although I'm often guilty of cloning out parts of a photo that I don't want others to see, I think leaving the ropes in this instance is the way to go. For me they add to the picture rather than detract from it - nice shot by the way!

Nice one Karl, gorgeous colour in the sky, and I prefer the ropes too.

I must try and get over to Otley this week

I'm in agreement with the ropes in group. #2 definitely stands out.

Great shots Karl, I'll try and visit the cross myself.
Cheers, HG
