View from Brandreth. Part of Base Brown bottom right corner, ridges of Thorneythwaite Fell (Glaramara) and Rosthwaite Fell in middle distance and Low Saddle to Ullscarf beyond. Great conditions after rain cleared through.
Photographed from Eastcheap, opposite Rood Lane, with the massive building at 20 Fenchurch Street looming over St Margaret Pattens church.
The 38 storey 20 Fenchurch Street, also known as the "walkie talkie" building, is 525 feet tall. Construction was completed in spring 2014, and the three-floor "sky garden" was opened in January 2015.
The building gets it's "walkie talkie" nickname because of it's shape and is not without some controversy. It won the Carbuncle Cup in 2015, awarded by Building Design magazine to the worst new building in the UK during the previous year.
During the building's construction, it was discovered that for a period of up to two hours each day if the sun shines directly onto the building, it acts as a concave mirror and focuses light onto the streets to the south. Spot temperature readings at street-level including up to 91 °C (196 °F) and 117 °C (243 °F) were observed during summer 2013, when the reflection of a beam of light up to six times brighter than direct sunlight shining onto the streets beneath damaged parked vehicles.
In July 2015, the building was criticised in having an unexpected impact on wind strength at street-level. The City of London Corporation received an increased number of complaints about draughts around 20 Fenchurch Street following its completion.
St Margaret Pattens church was first recorded in 1067, at which time the church was probably built from wood. It was then rebuilt in stone but fell into disrepair and had to be demolished in 1530. It was rebuilt again in 1538 but was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The present church was built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1687. It is one of only a few City churches to have escaped significant damage in the Second World War.
On the same day as our Crinkle Crags walk and despite a lack of sleep the previous night, the deteriorating weather forecast for the next few days was a spur to head out in the evening for another walk after settling in to our Keswick accommodation.
We drove over to Loweswater and climbed Low Fell for the wonderful views. At only 1352 ft it should have been a doddle, but the extreme heat and weariness made it a hard slog; we climbed much further and longer later in the week with seemingly less effort
A short, sharp dash up Hallin Fell to try and grab a sunset. I had left way too little time, and as I debated whether to bother ascending or starting my 250 mile journey back down South, the sunlight started to shine on the surrounding fells. I decided to go for it, and I'm glad I did. Even if I was shattered!

Iconic Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfoss under a vibrant springtime sunset-- a must-stop when visiting Iceland's Snaefellsnes peninsula
Climbing the ridge from Causey Pike (637 m) to Scar Crags (672 m), one reached a point where visibility simply ceased.

Fell's Point National Historic District. Fell's Point, a spirited waterfront community and popular tourist area is named for the Englishmen who founded a local ship-building company in 1726 that produced the famous Baltimore Schooners. Most of the 18th and 19th century homes and storefronts were once one of the "three B's": boarding houses, brothels and bars. Print Size 13x19 inches.
The Eastern face overlooking the Glenderaterra Valley. Picture taken from the path passing the Blencathra Centre around Blease Fell. Note the number of parallel sheep trods on the fell.
In the Northern Fells and has a Briganti, Iron Age hill fort on top. An interpretation of the name Briganti is "The high one". Appropriate or what?
Has outcrops of the volcanic rock Gabbro usually associated with Skye and islands in the Hebrides. The name comes from a small Italian town and is a Mafric rock. Gives good grip to the climbers boot, large crystals!

The spectacular sunset seen from the slopes of Ling Fell in the Lake District a few evenings ago. I scouted this area a few weeks ago as I knew the heather would soon be in bloom, and there's plenty of it here as the name suggests ('Ling' being the Scottish word for heather). Over the last week I've returned to this particular spot about 5 times, and on this night I was finally rewarded with the light I'd been searching for. The sun only came out for a few minutes before disappearing over the distant Scottish hills.

Fell End Clouds is a small but interesting area of limestone scars on the flanks of Wild Boar Fell, overlooking the Vale of Eden and the Howgill Fells. Cautley Crag is the prominent background feature.
Standing in some isolation, apart from its companion to the South East, Little Mell Fell. This hill, situated to the North of Ullswater, rises from a flat wet plane. The name is of Celtic origin meaning bare hill suggesting that in the distant past it was treeless.
The hill is made of a reddish conglomerate laid down in the Devonian period, about 350 million years ago and has been weathered to its present round pudding shape.
I makes for a great view point for the Eden Valley, Northern Fells and the hills around Ullswater. I rarely meet anyone on its slopes a good place for a ponder and a wander.
I reckon that the hills around Hobbiton looked a bit like Great Mell Fell.
After all of the recent poor weather here's a reminder of the super weather that April brought.

Struggling at the moment with a bit of a virus. Out the other evening but only with the little LX-5 compact. A nice evening and wish I'd had the big camera but still nice to be out with any sort of camera. One in the comments from further up the fell, processed in Silver Efex.
Here I am again with the finished version of my Nazgûl-Dragon which I started back in July. The build is quite stable for most parts but definetly not a playset:)
Looking forward to hear your Opinion on this one!
