This wonderfull­y wintry scene was uploaded to Instagram using the hashtag #appicofthe­week. It was taken by photograph­er David Speight. He tells us, ‘After a half- convincing forecast for snow in Yorkshire, my thoughts turned to the Dales. Like most photograph­ers, I have a neverendin­g list of locations that I’d love to photograph where everything is simplified by the whiteness of snow.

Unfortunat­ely, so many areas just become inaccessib­le after a snowfall. Winter tyres and a bit of third- gear momentum helped with the drive up the hill from Ingleton. Taken with probably my favourite lens, the Canon TS- E 24mm tilt–shift. I took a series of three or four shots using the lens’s shift function, which were later stitched to create this wideangle panoramic.’
