Sunday Picture Quiz Answers: August 3
Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?
1. The face of the Buddha statue, Grewelthorpe
This exquisite statue is just one of the attractions to be spotted at the Himalayan Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grewelthorpe, north-west of Ripon.
In 45 acres of parkland, there are also three lakes, a stunning collection of rhododendrons, and more than 90 contemporary sculptures in the open air.
2. Gilded eagles, Herald Buildings, Harrogate
These eagles may not be too familiar, as they've recently been regilded and are much shinier than they used to be.
But you might recognise the wall beyond, with its faded lettering. The Herald Buildings on Montpellier Parade were for many years home to the Harrogate Advertiser and its sister titles, including the Harrogate Herald.
The Slug & Lettuce pub took up residence on the ground floor for some years, but more recently the building has been shrouded in scaffolding while teams of contractors convert it into luxury flats with commercial units on the ground floor.
3. Footbridge, Bishop Monkton
This must be the most delicate little footbridge in the district. It spans Bishop Monkton Beck, which flows right through the village, providing visitors with endless photo-opportunities.
4. Brimham Rocks, Nidderdale
An easy one to end on, Brimham Rocks are instantly recognisable to anyone who has seen them before.
The rocks were formed by sediment in a river delta more than 300 million years ago, and have been shaped by ice, rain, wind and the passage of time ever since.
The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is managed by the National Trust. A popular destination for energetic children and their worried parents (some of those rocks are very high), it was even used by the Bee Gees as the location of the video for their 1987 hit, You Win Again.
