This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

As day turns to night the rolling countryside landscape transforms, taking on a magical and ghost-like presence under moonlight.

The bewitching effects of moonlight, captured on film by photographer Liza Dracup is currently on display at the The Mercer Art Gallery until 4 September.

Drawing inspiration from the light used in paintings by Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw, Dracup's latest images form a photographer's response to one of the most successful painters of the 19th century.

Her work will be shown alongside Grimshaw's paintings in the exhibition Atkinson Grimshaw: Painter of Moonlight, which runs at The Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate, until 4 September 2011. For more information visit The Mercer Art Gallery.
