Amazing scene. Is that all natural/original setting light?

The Hummel Park pic was touched up in Lightroom a bit to give it a dramatic effect worthy of the park's legends. So no, it's not completely natural. There's a bit of artistic license there. [Edit: But nothing too crazy, just some creative dodging and burning; creative contrast, clarity, and vibrance adjustments with masks, etc. All hand done.]

Cobwebs (?) with morning dew.

Dense low shrub with several sheet-like cobwebs spread across its foliage, beaded with dew and catching the light.

Cheshire is pretty flat but Macclesfield has a few nice hills. Good for fell running.

Photo of a railway platform with a white and grey passenger train on the right, yellow edge lines, a platform number 8 sign on the ground, benches and hanging flower baskets, and a footbridge with coloured panels ahead.
Green information panels mounted along a covered walkway, each showing a red line drawing of a church and a dated timeline with the year 1278 and the place name Kenigdge-style map roundels.
Two illustrated panels in a window: left shows an open pink Domesday Book with the year 1086 and the text 'Mentioned in the Domesday book as Macclesfield'; right shows a crowned king with a beard above the year 1261 and the text 'Macclesfield's Charter granted by King Edward I'.
Street scene with a pavement on the right lined by brick pillars topped with stone caps, with purple and white flower planters and parked cars behind them, a road curving left, and red-brick buildings and a church tower under a hazy sky.
Outdoor car park in a town with many parked cars, including a red hatchback and a blue estate in the foreground. Behind are brick buildings with signs reading OLD MILLSTONE, trees, and a tall church tower on a hill under a grey sky.
Steeply sloping cobbled street lined with brick and stone buildings, a white van parked on the left, paved pavement on the right and a classical stone building at the top of the hill.

What is it? Just a CGI picture, or is it something biological?
I don't know but I doubt it is natural.
Just cool looking.

A rising Moon between two towers, shot this night:

Crescent moon at night rising between two dark ornate church towers, one with an onion dome and cross, the other a spire with a cross on top, silhouetted against a dark sky.

(Gear: Sony A7R + Tokina 300mm f/5.6 @ f/8, ISO 2000, 0.5s exposure)

2008 Yorkshire three Peaks. Whernside in the back ground.

Blurred evening view across a grassy field toward a stone farmhouse and barns, with a flat-topped fell rising behind them under a pale sky, seen over a dry-stone wall.

Three peaks, Pen-y-ghent

Two men in dark jackets and shorts stand on a stony hilltop path under hazy skies, one reading a small card or map and the other holding a phone, with other walkers in the distance.

Pen-y-ghent is actually first, the walk from there to Whernside seem to take forever.

The lad with the bobble hat was 17 at the time. A tough little lad.
It was not easy running to front to get a decent shot either.

Four men in dark jackets and shorts walk along a gravel track through green grassland, with rolling hills and farm buildings behind them.

Don't get me started. The UK has decided to go crazy for a few days. I am posting images of saner times.
Fair enough.
 
2001, the lab went through some changes. Probably the angriest period of my working life. I, we got through it. The foreign students got slack but no one else did.

Photo of a man in a white lab coat and glasses standing at a laboratory bench in a large room with fluorescent ceiling lights, wooden cabinets, glassware on shelves and a fume hood on the right.

First time in Ireland, first time I saw a starry sky like that. No ambient light at all on the camp site at night. It was breathtaking.

No images of that unfortunately. Probably would not have come out with my rubbish camera.

Four people standing side by side outdoors on a grassy field in daylight, leaning against a wooden fence, with trees and a coastline behind them.
