Back to the Lake District today with another shot of Ashness Bridge.
I posted a shot of this from my first trip to the lakes, but I think I actually prefer this version. It was a moody day which meant the lack of light reduced any harsh shadows on the rocks.
This visit was a lot quieter than my first time there which was in the middle of the school holidays. This time we pretty much had the place to ourselves so we could take a bit longer getting the shots we wanted.
This is quite possibly the most photographed bridge in the Lake District and with views towards Derwent Water and Skiddaw you can see why, it's just stunning.

As much as I appreciated comments and feedback I would request no Awards or flashy gif comments, please. They will be deleted. Thank you.
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.
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....
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 .

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.
Again, another first for me. I went to photograph a different bird, but came back with this one as the pair was busy together.
A little selfie time to give some perspective to the size of the cave, the ice cone, and the waterfalls.
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.
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...

This 18th Century Bridge is over looking Derwentwater on the North lakes. definitely worth a visit although had to wait a while for a gap to take the photo with no human standing by. We were told by a National trust guy, about a small cabin run by them just up from the bridge to bag a cuppa and sit by a log fire to warm up, which we did.. very nice too a small donation required

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

Just after sunset at Ash Street Crossing, Chicago, where NORX coal loads move south on Norfolk Southern's Chicago Junction, paralleling CSX's B&OCT and banging the diamonds of CN's Freeport Sub. In the distance, a BNSF transfer from Corwith Yard waits to move east and use the connection onto the B&OCT. The dwarf searchlights here have since been replaced, and a new connection from BNSF now crosses the Freeport Sub and parallels the north-south CSX and NS lines through the junction.
