Even Leeds can be Beautiful

Having spent so much money on my camera, I couldn't then afford to go anywhere exotic to take pictures.  But then, often the tourist doesn't have the opportunity to really get to know the places he or she visits, and it turned out to be a pretty good opportunity to try to develop my photography skills.  So here follows photographs of Leeds, more beautiful than you might think...   

Leeds East, part of Leeds Country Way. Canon 70D, Samyang 14mm lens, three photos combined so that I could balance the exposure of the sky and the landscape

Canon 70D, 10-18mm EF-S lens, f13, 1/100, ISO 320 - actually four exposures with different focus points to get it in focus, front to back. 4 shots, and about 40 flea bites from lying on the ground...
