An old cotton mill in West Yorkshire near the town of Hebden Bridge. It's also a great walk through the woodland in this part of the southern Pennines. (the sky and its reflection are all fake of course. The weather was glooooooomy today!)

A plant I shot in Cheshire the other week .. Can anyone ID?

The barrier between woodland on our left and farmland on our right. Plus we had to hack our way through much of this footpath as it had overgrown some what! Still, I got a ton of bug shots…!

Here's the fencing.. fancied a little sepia with my dof experimentation. Hope you like - thx for viewing.

Hello everyone!

Following on from my last image… I'm still on my flickr break! I'll be gone for another week as I'm just way way wayyyy too busy atm. But here's a little teaser from a recent trip into southern Cumbria, England.

We got to see a few place in the southern parts of the English Lake District, like Windermere and Hawkshead. This one was shot at Orrest Head. I thought the seat and my flickr rest state made it an apt posting ;-)

View as large as you can - maybe on black? Have a great day everyone and I'll be back with you all in around a week or so. ttfn………………….

A couple more images from Cholmondeley Castle :)

This little fella kept following me the other day, probably hoping that I had some food. Sadly I hadn't…. But at least he posed long enough to get this close up shot!

Taken at the start of our walk yesterday. There was a little talk of us climbing this beast someday …. imagine the views and the shots we'd get. Yeeeeah right, I said! lol my feet are firmly at sea level ;)

I might be wrong here, but I think the name of this is "Pen yr Ole Wen". Yup!

Come on, best viewed large. Right?
