Back to our Camera Club outing to the Yorkshire Museum of Farming, it includes the Danelaw Dark Age Village, a unique educational environment that is designed to support the study of life in Saxon, Viking or Medieval England. It's main purpose is for children's education, and a range of themed visits are available. Costumes are provided and children can carry out a range of activities as the villagers of a Dark Ages Settlement. These vary with the type of day booked but may include grinding wheat, weapons training (with blunt, dummy weapons), guard duty, pottery, field and house work. Various visitors arrive to create role play scenarios.

. A fine set, Trev, and your presentation is fabulous. Carol
Reminiscent of the Viking settlement that we visited in Schleswig-Holstein a couple of years ago: brothers under the skin!
I find V2 most atmospheric and a most interesting composition.

This is a superb set. I was thinking of our visit a couple of years ago to the German Viking settlement too... V2 is definitely my favourite here, for the way the winding p[ath binds everything together. I think I might get rid of that sign inside the hut door, I know 'it was there' but it's a modern intrusion to my eye, the story is a bout the weathered textures and craftsmanship.
By the way I have carved wooden spoons that I bought in Russia some years ago, the handles are very similar to the decoration at the top of the front gable in V1.
Moira
You certainly get to visit lots of interesting places Trev! Love all these images, all so well captured!
Carol
Excellent photography Trev, superb processing my friend.

Trev.
The modern approach to museums seems to include visitor participation, so it's nice to hear that children are encouraged to get involved: bound to enhance and bring alive their learning about these historical times.
From this fine set, it looks as if a lot of care has gone into the lay out and one gets the feeling of realism.
Very nicely captured set that would envisage anyone to visit.
Ronnie.
Marvellous set of images Trevor.
They have responded very well to your processing.
I really like V2.
This is just “up the road” from me, never really thought of visiting.
David
beautifully clean and sharp picture, really like this one Trev
Love version 2 Trev- and there's some super pottery in v3
Helen
A good set of reportage images here. I'm drawn very much to the interesting array of pottery in v3 - some of which appears to have been smoke-fired.
Also something I immediately noticed was the carving of the bits at the ridge of the roof in v1 - they bear a great resemblance to Viking carvings I've seen on stavechurches in Norway.
Anne
I particularly like the pov and crop in V2, Trev, leading us naturally fiurther into the heart of the village. As Anne says, the carvings are very typical Norwegian stevechurch decorations.
This place could easily be a Viking reproduction.
