This is Ashness Bridge in Cumbria, one of the most photographed bridges in the UK. Set in the magnificent Lake District in Cumbria - seen here in the late evening sun in late June 2019. You can just see a bit of Derwent Water on the left centre of the image and also the Skiddaw mountain peaks that over-look the town of Keswick.

I'd already picked my curry up and called in here on the way back to the campsite in Borrowdale. Think this was the evening before I tripped the entire campsite electrics through no fault of my own whilst disconnecting the electric hookup in the morning. Surprising how many people are up and about on holiday at 5am but three different people appeared within seconds scratching their heads so I started scratching mine too and attempted to look puzzled before driving off and making my way to Buttermere iirc.
With so many photographers getting in each others way ( you can still see two above the bridge if your looking large ) above the bridge I headed down a slippery slope, I looked for a composition here where I found a lovely red Fern and some lovely colours in the foreground sapling.. I bracketed my shots here as the falls were a little too white so I blended in the water and sky from a darker shot .
I did manage to get a few more images which I`ll post another time .
Ashness Bridge is perhaps the most photographed packhorse bridge in the Lake District with stunning views and location.
It has been photographed a million times...so why, I thought yesterday, am I doing it as well?
But, I realised that landscape photography is good for me, physically, mentally & emotionally. I see the beauty around me, discover new places, see the world in new ways. Watching the sun come up or seeing the dramatic clouds change as they move across the sky becomes my focus on capturing the wonder of nature. And, if that means photographing a scene that millions have done before me, does it matter? It's new to me, it's special to me, I may never go back, I may never see it again, but in that moment, it was mine & ultimately shooting landscapes allows me to capture the magic and awe that is our world.
This image of the lively waters cascading down the mountain to the Lakes below yesterday, represented to me, why I love Landscape Photography & the belief that the moment most worthy is the one where you pull back the curtain on what was always going to be there and make that moment yours....it doesn't matter and never will that its been photographed before....

I love landscape and general still life photos, as well as the more risque ones :). So, from time to time, I'm going to drop one in here with the destination so you can see the lovely creations others make in SL.
This beautiful place is part of the d i r t y . p r e t t y group. You should definitely check this out if you have the time. Very lovely place, very chill, and lots of places to shoot some pics or just hang.

I think a return trip to Hocking Hills needs to happen soon. This is Ash Cave, and the falls at the far end are 90' high.
From our recent holiday in the lake district. Finally got a chance to use my lee landscape polariser.
An old packhorse bridge in the Lake District above Lake Windermere. Very popular on a Sunday, can't believe I got a shot without people in it!
A little selfie time to give some perspective to the size of the cave, the ice cone, and the waterfalls.
Ash-greyish Grasshopper / Lobosceliana cinerascens
quite uncommon, first time I saw one (two actually, male and female)

Last week we had to fell the mighty eighty-year-old ash tree in our garden...

Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!

The wonderfully weird shape and form of the limestone pavement provides a great foreground to this majestic loner in all its summer glory.

Ashness Bridge is perhaps the most photographed packhorse bridge in the Lake District due to its location and stunning views.
It is an excellent example of a traditional packhorse bridge, and has one of the Lake District’s most famous views looking north to Derwentwater, Whinlatter, Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite Lake.

Ashness Jetty, I wanted to try a slightly different angle on the jetty to try and catch the snowy peaks on both sides. Some good light and a long exposure did the rest.

After an early morning visit down at the jetty we later came back up to Ashness Bridge hoping for some good light. I liked the patterns in the rocks made by the freezing snow so decided to include them rather than go into the beck. Waiting for the light and no traffic crossing the bridge was getting a little frustrating. Then it happened and at the right moment a little robin flew in at first sitting on the larger rock in the middle ground. He then came closer and the light stayed around long enough for me to record this memorable shot.
This Ash tree has suffered from Ash Dieback disease
First you notice a shortage of leaves, then no leave just a skeleton tree which is brittle
The the trunk being brittle shatters as can be seen here. A sight to common in the countryside.

Ashness Bridge is Grade II listed “packhorse bridge” that passes over the fast running Barrow Beck. The bridge dates from the 18th century when many good were transported on the back of horses. The parapet was added in the 19th century and it was widened to allow cars to cross in the 20th century. It is built from slate rubble and is a narrow, single span (one horse wide), hump back bridge. The parapet is kept deliberately low to avoid it interfering with the panniers that the packhorse carried on their flanks.
This photo was taken at Easter 2019.
Ash emissions continue at fluctuating levels. A stronger phase of emissions produced a plume that rose approx. 1200 meters and drifted in westerly directions over Malang, forcing a temporary closure of the city's regional Abdul Rachman Saleh airport.

Before a proper road system was established travel down the valleys of the Lake District could be very problematic what with flooding and lots of mud. Pack horse routes on the valley sides avoided the soggy bottoms and bridges like Ashness crossed the many mountain streams enabling the long trains of pack horses to continue trading. The bridges at first had no sides so the bulky packs could easily pass over the road bed . This must be the most photographed bridge in the country.
How on earth we manged to spend nearly three hours here and it seem like half an hour is beyond me.
It's one of those places though, a beautifully quiet and peaceful location, the sound of the water running down over all the rocks and rather picturesque bridge with views across to Derwernt Water and Keswick. All in all a wonderful morning but strange flat lighting so nothing ground breaking photography wise (disappointing after the wonderful light we left at Castlerigg earlier in the day) this is potentially the best I had of a bunch of attempts! Added some shadow and other bits myself to at least try and make it look a little more dynamic, hopefully not over done too much.
