Ripon's winter beauty captured on camera
Ripon photographer Mike Smith has shot a series of photos showing some of the city's most beautiful winter scenes.
Mr Smith, who moved to the city from West Yorkshire in 2018, is a keen photographer who has sold numerous images over the years.
The main image here shows blue skies over Ripon canal basin last weekend.
This swan below was photographed passing below Rentons Bridge at Littlethorpe.
Ripon's famous cathedral celebrates its 1,350th anniversary this year and, as this photo shot at sunrise shows, it remains perhaps the most striking and beautiful building in the Harrogate district.
Mr Smith said:
Local charities have benefited through part of the proceeds of sales.
Mr Smith, who used to work in financial services, has given talks to local groups and had work published magazines.
Have you taken any great photos of the Harrogate district? We love receiving readers' images and occasionally publish them alongside the name of the photographer. Send them to contact@thestrayferret.co.uk.
