The MIst And The Reeds...
This morning there was a heavy misty, white fog that settled all over the quiet streets of Brampton. I headed out as soon as the sun came up.ready for an adventure! the nearby fields were thick with the white mist and the low lying areas were completely socked in. As i made my way through the neighbourhood I began taking pictures of what i saw. this shot of the valley filled with mist among the reeds.

Sunrays...
A few weeks ago we made our way to Heart Lake and spend a few hours braving the cold to get some shots. While we were there a young girl waked by totally unprepared for the cold with a denim jacket only and it want done up. Some people would rather freeze than wear warm clothing i guess.
A brilliant blazing winters sun Blasted its way through the thin cloud cover sending light in all directions.

The city of Brampton has just completed extensive renovations on this house called 'Alderlea' and the millwork really is something to see. I'm not sure how much is original and how much had to be re-created but it has been crafted well. The house will have to work to pay for itself and is going to be used as a venue for various functions and probably weddings will be the top of the list.
I suspect Alderlea is going to become one of those landmark properties that is so 'over photographed' we're all going to get sick of looking at it. At least locally anyway. :-)
During the last couple of weeks I've been photographing heritage properties in the area and in spite of the fact that an enormous number of wonderful old places have been lost in the last couple of decades it's quite fine to see how many are now being preserved.

1966 Mustang...
A beautiful 1966 Mustang stole the show at the car event. I positioned myself low to the ground, minimizing background distractions and maximizing the sky, then desaturated the image to capture a timeless, classic feel.

Excerpt from www.brampton.ca/EN/Arts-Culture-Tourism/Tourism-Brampton/...:
Veterans Monument - Gage Park
"The Veteran was carved in 2005 from the trunk of a dying red oak that had stood for over a century. It was created to mark the National Year of the Veteran.
The statue is modelled on Bill Bettridge, a decorated veteran of the Second World War and survivor of Operation Overlord, the D-Day landings in Normandy, France that lead to the end of the war. It stands in silent tribute to the many men and women of Brampton who served and continue to serve our nation in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping missions around the world so that we may live in freedom and peace.
The Veteran looks toward the Brampton Cenotaph, a reminder to all of Brampton’s citizens that we have a duty to honour the service, sacrifice, and memory of all veterans. Artist: Jim Menken"

Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles east of Carlisle and 2 miles south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.
St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.
The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.
Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.
During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.
In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.
Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.

Rowing is an activity at Talkin Tarn. The rowing club, Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009. Rowing races were first held on Talkin Tarn in the 1850s, and the Rowing Club was formed in 1859 by local townsfolk, several descendants of whom still live in the area. It is the oldest rowing club in the North of England, with the exception of Tyne Rowing Club, and is the 14th oldest non-university club in the country. Talkin Tarn Annual Regatta has grown considerably in recent years from a total entry of 20 in 1946 and 97 in 1988 to what it is today – very successful and one of the largest one-day regattas outside of London with total entries now in excess of 400.
The name Talkin comes from the Celtic name 'Talcan' which means brow of a hill. Tarn or 'Tjorn' is Norse for small teardrop lake.
Talkin Tarn was formed by the force of glaciers 10,000 years ago. The ice carved the landscape leaving the natural bowl which filled with water as the glaciers melted. The tarn is constantly topped up by natural freshwater springs which bubble up from below

The River Irthing rises on Paddaburn Moor in Kielder Forest and skirts the eastern edge of Butterburn Flow raised bog. Remains of numerous mediaeval shielings have been found along the banks of these upper reaches, some of which have been given ancient monument status.
For two miles above the village of Gilsland the river flows through the Irthing Gorge, flanked by mainly sandstone crags. Within the upper section of this gorge lies Crammel Linn waterfall. Peregrine falcons and ravens nest near the waterfall and derelict military structures, probably pump-houses supplying water for the Blue Streak rocket site at RAF Spadeadam, can be seen just upstream. Further downstream, in the grounds of Gilsland Spa hotel, the crags develop into high cliffs. The cliff face below the hotel gives rise to the famous sulphurous spring after which the hotel is named and also a chalybeate spring and a petrifying seep.
Hadrian's Wall crossed the river on a bridge at Willowford, half a mile east of Birdoswald Roman Fort. From that point the course of the river as it turns west is lined with other Roman sites associated with the Roman Stanegate road and Hadrian's Wall. A stretch of Wall, (including two turrets and the impressive bridge remains) runs alongside the River Irthing at Willowford, linked by a new footbridge to Birdoswald Roman Fort. This crossing of the River Irthing marked a significant transition in the construction of Hadrian's Wall, emphasising the greater availability of building stone to the east.
Passing Brampton the Irthing merges with the River Gelt, and soon after meets the River Eden near Warwick Bridge, just north of Wetheral.
