One of the great views of the Harrogate district is from Knaresborough Castle down to the viaduct over the River Nidd.
Amateur photographer David Thompson sent us this stunning photo of it that he took early one morning recently.
You can see more photography by Mr Thompson, who lives in Starbeck, on Instagram @kampalakid.

The poppies blow in a field near Knaresborough
These colourful images of a field of poppies were shot recently by Knaresborough photographer Dick Lloyd.
Mr Lloyd, who is a keen landscape photographer, captured the wild flowers on land near Staveley, which is just north of Knaresborough.
The birth of his granddaughter Esme prompted Mr Lloyd to take up photography three years ago.
He now focuses on landscape photography in and around Knaresborough, as well as the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
