Coniston Fells and Wetherlam looming over Coniston Water and town in the English Lake District with a little bit of autumn sunshine breaking through upon the town and fells.
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.
The timber industry is vital to the Scottish economy. Forestry and timber processing accounts for £285 million of Gross Value Added (GVA) every year – That’s even more than the fishing industry. It also provides more than 30,000 jobs across the wood production, forest management, haulage and processing sectors. Timber from Scotland’s national forests is used for house building, fencing, paper and bio-fuel.
For every tree cut down, more are planted. Research is carried out to combat disease and select the most suitable species, while our foresters are introducing alternatives to clear-felling where possible. Forests are carefully managed to encourage the rich variety of wildlife that lives there – and to create a landscape that looks great too. Plus, our forests also help to combat climate change by locking up carbon.

This is the far north-west of Lancashire, a few miles from Carnforth at the northern end of Morecambe Bay. This is rolling farmland, predominantly used for grazing by sheep and cattle. In the distance we can see the mountains and fells of the Lake District on the left, and the Yorkshire Dales on the right
I missed a previous shot of this as it's a very narrow road and when I was taking aim cars descended on me from both sides.
So I went back, yesterday.
After all of the recent poor weather here's a reminder of the super weather that April brought.

Here's a Fell Beast on a ruinous stand I designed for Build Better Bricks.
Learn more about this build's design/process and see more pictures of it on my blog.
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!
A view down the Kirkstone Pass to a lightly snow covered Place Fell in what was left of the setting sunshine.
Golden hour sunset overlooking Ullswater. Gowbarrow Fell and Dockray beyond. And I thought midges were unique to the Scottish Highlands...

I think I've created a monster! Shantel hadn't shot in about 20 years until we hooked up and now it's like we're shooting 1-2 times a month. I'm not complaining at all - she gets better and more comfortable at each shoot. This shoot she started off wearing flannel and then tried on a fun coat that she fell in love with. We ended up in a chicken coop. Don't ask. We did this shoot in late November and it was definitely cold outside. The things we do for art!
View from Hallin Fell down to Ullswater, the second largest lake in the English Lake District.
It was a fantastic atmosphere this evening, a small thunderstorm formed thick clouds at the top whereas the sun was able to glance through below.
So last night as I often do I went out to Fells Point to shoot some local bands. There is this one place called The Waterfront, which often has good bands but is SUPER dark. I am working with management to get permission to do SOME flash work, but I dont have it yet.
Well anyway, last night STOMP decided to pop out from their touring Broadway Play that is playing in Baltimore this week and have some fun with some of the local guys.
Let me just tell you Tuesday in Fells Point is usually dead but these guys had the place JUMPING. all the other bars emptyed out and they came to this bar when they saw what was going on....and let me just say, if how these guys just "played around" was any indication of how good their show is......IM GOING AND SO SHOULD YOU!
It wasnt just the beat and the vibe and the music....it was the intensity, the soul and the fun they brought......the moment they joined in you could feel it, it was HOT HOT HOT.
anyway, i REALLY wish i had better light and could have had much less noise on this, but i had to work with what i had and i LOVE this shot because it really gives you a fell for the mood at this bar last night.....if you were there you know what im talking about.
That black little dot on the top of the fell? People. Two persons. About 20 pixels high in the original raw image.
My first solo wild camping trip was a great success capturing a great sunrise & sunset! The scene's i was treated to at the summit were typical Lakes, bare rock and a horizon line of endless hills and mountains.

As the sun rose higher the light changed into a loverly warm colour scattering daylight across the fells. Thanks for looking.

The view from Brund Fell up the head of Borrowdale to the central giants. A great walk for kids from Watendlath or Rosthwaite, fairly short and an interesting summit area to explore.

The Lake District certainly looks a whole lot different to what it did this time last week. The snow has retreated and the tempestuous weather more reminiscent of autumn has returned.
I spent yesterday exploring the craggy environs of Grange Fell in Borrowdale. I wasn't expecting to get any decent pictures as the forecast wasn't great, but packed my camera just in case.
It was lovely and sheltered on the ascent up Troutdale, and it was nice to spot some bird life including a Nuthatch trying to crack open a snail shell by whacking it on a tree branch. However, the wind became increasingly strong as I gained height and was extremely gusty further uphill.
On the upper reaches above the trees, I turned back and noticed this moody scene looking towards Black Crag & Ether Knott. I thought it looked beautiful with the low clouds blowing across the rugged flanks so I quickly snapped a few handheld pictures before the vista became engulfed by mist.

Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for fun?
Sure they crawl around and scurry,
yeah they're always on the run but a rat sure likes a good time
just like you and me
I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery
It started with a little lad named vermin McCann
who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man
he rounded up his furry boys,
though some wore a frown
they quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down.
[Chorus:]
One, two, one-two-three-four!
Come on all you good rats
we'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
Like mice behind a piper,
rats from all around soon headed for this factory in old Dublin Town.
They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they come,
they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few
The rats were in a tizzy
addicted to the bone the hairy lugs were giddy
they were never going home
like a bunch of drunken pirates prepared to walk the plank they drank,
they sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank --- dropkick murphys
