Auchintaple Loch, which has a boat house on the far side, is often named as a favourite spot by walkers on the Cateran Trail.
Whilst the loch itself is man-made there are traces of an early chapel at Chapel Hillock on a low rise just above the loch, identifiable by a turf-covered stony bank enclosing a slight hollow containing several stones.
Near to the chapel is the Lady Well or Virgin Mary’s Well, which is still supplied with a plentiful flow of clear water. The wells in the area were once known for their curative properties, and many people visited in search of a miracle cure.
It was thought that the first Sabbath in May was a day on which the waters had their greatest effect, and drinking from the well before sunrise was considered even more propitious.
Another early start for sunrise, only this time there wasn't a cloud in the sky as I drove up to the Lake District.
So plan B had to be quickly formed. It was freezing, so I thought I'd try driving up the Brathay Valley and Langdale to see if there was any mist in the valley or go all the way up to Blea Tarn and catch a sunrise on the Pikes.
Well there was just a bit of swirling mist on the Brathay below Elterwater, so I stopped and took a few shots before heading up to Blea Tarn. Neither worked particularly well, but I worked up an appetite for some breakfast before joining a couple of Flickr Pals for a walk in the fells later!
Here is a cold roseate shot of the faintly misty Brathay at sunrise!
Trees showing autumn colours along the 'Teign Estuary'..
Have a great evening.. thank for stopping by..
Set up near a sand bank that was being used as nesting by these little speed demons.
It took a bit of time and a lot of misses; but I eventually got some ok'ish flight shots. This is my favourite.
This is a view of Currituck Sound on the Outer Banks of North Carolina heading north from Duck to Corolla. The Atlantic Ocean is on the right of where I am. This photo was taken several years ago. I sure wish I was there now. The ocean breezes would be quite a relief from the heat and humidity.

Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis)
I am still seeing large flocks of Straw-necked Ibis.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
This old bank in a small town in rural Nebraska appears to have had a break in. More likely due to abandonment, a breakdown.....

Pella, sur la rive occidentale du lac d’Orta, fait partie des bourgs les plus anciens et les plus riches en histoire du territoire de Cusio. Une roche utilisée pour la coupellation découverte récemment prouve que Pella était déjà habité à l’âge du fer : le long de l’ancien parcours des tailleurs de pierre, on peut observer diverses coupelles gravées sur un rocher, avec leur canal d’écoulement, qui étaient probablement utilisées dans le cadre d’un rite de la fertilité.
Pella, on the western bank of the lake of Orta, been a part of villages the oldest and the richest in history of the territory of Cusio. A rock used for the bare coupellation recently proves that Pella was already inhabited in the Iron Age: along the old route of the stone-cutters, we can observe diverse small dishes engraved on a rock, with their channel of selling, which were probably used for of a rite of the fertility.
