I've been after an image of this waterfall for several years and finally got round to finding it. The water levels were not optimum but there was more than enough to show off its beauty!
I have unknowingly driven past this spot on quite a number of times as it is actually quite near the road, but tucked away from sight as you drive by.
I think its best angle is actually from the other bank but I didn't have my wellies with me and the exposed rocks were very slippy looking, so I'll save that view for my next visit! This was a 10 second shot using a 6 stop filter and circular polariser.
you all asked for ireland in the snow
so here you go
i couldnt get out with the bad weather so
i could only take photos from the house
oooops i had to put some colour in hahah
snow is not my thing at all
and i swore i would not do any winter shots
but since so many asked me to do ireland in the snow
i tried my best as i could not get out
you do not need to comment these i only put them up as i was asked to
all these photos were taken out through the windows of my house
i didnt even go outside to take them as it was so slippy
I saw the sign for this church so I had to come and have a look. It is a massive building from the outside, I would have liked a wander around the graveyard but the ground was really wet and slippy.
Shouting lager, lager, lager, lager...
Portrait mode today. RL had me so totally distracted for a while that I had to remind myself to put everything down and enjoy a bit of escapism in SL. Have some earworm music.
Click to zoom etc.
The slippiest boulders I have seen with a pleasing sunrise in the background just as I decided to head back.
On a lovely afternoon walk I took Evie & Olive for a woodland walk, very muddy & slippy but they had great fun and rinsed in the river before a ride home. Here Evie is waiting as Olive tries to carry a piece of wood, she gave up and zoomed after Evie lol.

This is a part of the river in Pucks Glen where it squeezes through a crack in the rocks. It was a major clamber to get down there amongst all the slippy rocks with my camera gear, but worth it I reckon :)

Mysterious Ways
Song by U2
Lyrics
Johnny, take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground, eating from a can
You've been running away, from what you don't understand (Look)
She's slippy, you're sliding down
She'll be there, when you hit the ground
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She's the wave, she turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways, yeah
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways, yeah, oh, ah
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
Lift my days, light up my nights, oh
One day you'll look back, and you'll see
Where you were held now by this love
While you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
Move you, spirits move you (It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)
Move, spirits move you, oh, yeah (She moves in mysterious ways)
Does it move you, she moves with it (It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)
Lift my days, and light up my nights, oh
My plan was to walk from Ardersier Common to Fort George and back. Ardersier Common is a unique area where you can see butterflies and rare plants in warmer weather. For me I was following the path to the coast there was snow on the ground but it was not slippy.
Within minutes the skies had cleared and it was nice and sunny again. I like to get a low view of the river and it was not too slippy underfoot. I did not meet any fishermen this time.
Now the snow has turned to messy brown slush and has frozen over to a slippy slidey mess, I thought to regale you with a few more pretties....
Having endured a cold, snowy day out on the summit of An Casteil we descended into warmer weather only to find ourselves the wrong side of this stream for our walk out to the pub. Mark is seen here making his cautious crossing. If I recall correctly when we reached the warmth of the Drovers Bar everyone in the pub stopped as we squelched our way towards the roaring fire. We were drenched.
For anyone who hasn't tried crossing a stream like this, it is much harder than it looks. The problems include the strong currents and the unseen and slippy bed of the stream. Walking poles make a massive difference.
I really wanted to get to these, there were so many of them, but, although you can't tell, they were down a really steep, slippy, incline. The only other place I saw more foxgloves than this was on the side of a cliff as we whizzed by on the bus!
It was just amazing here and yet it was bitterly cold. There is a wee car park here where you can walk across the Loch Droma Dam. The road surface looks very slippy but it was more slushy than anything. It was the clouds that were catching my eye they were so big and were moving and shaping as I watched.
Have a good weekend everyone, it is a nice morning here.

The Strid & Strid Wood
The spectacular Strid is where the broad River Wharfe becomes suddenly narrow and the water rushes with great force. The Strid was formed by the wearing away of softer rock by the circular motion of small stones in hollows, forming a series of potholes which in time linked together to form a deep, water filled chasm.
Please note the Strid is very dangerous and lives have been lost. Please take notice of the advice signs in this area and stay well back from the edge.
The Strid is wider than it looks and the rocks are usually very slippy.
The Strid gets its name from the Anglo Saxon 'Stryth' meaning Turmoil or Tumult; corrupted into Strid, from the possibility of striding across the channel.
The Strid is easily accessible from Sandholme car park. It is approximately a twenty minute walk through Strid Wood from the Cavendish Pavilion. This path is suitable for wheelchairs. Alternatively, the Strid can be accessed from Strid Wood car park. This route takes ten minutes, however, the path is uneven in places and terrain easy to moderate.
This ancient woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and one of the largest areas of acidic oak woodland in the Yorkshire Dales. It is renowned for the flora and fauna, particularly the carpets of bluebells in Spring. Follow the colour coded nature trails through the wood and relax and enjoy the view from one of the many carefully positioned seats. There are walks to suit all ages and abilities including the green trail. This popular trail which is suitable for wheelchairs follows the west bank of the River Wharfe from the Cavendish Pavilion to the Strid.
Visitors are asked to keep their dogs on a lead whilst in the woods to avoid disturbing the animals and to prevent damage to the fragile woodland plants.
I headed to the waters edge for this low pov shot , however great care was needed as it was slippy and one slip and you would be washed away which wouldn't be very good.

Fleetwood, River Wyre, Lancashire
My first proper outing since Skye in February with Muddy Boots UK to a couple of locations I’ve never been to. The evening didn’t start too well with a late packing of my gear. Usually, everything is in its place but I couldn't find my cable-release. I wrecked the house trying to find it only to leave the mess to Mrs R to clear up!
I didn’t fair better with the navigation either... looked up the wrong area! Luckily, Muddy knew where we were heading. Anyway, enough of my calamities. we got there.
These wrecks are very accessible with a well-trodden path right up to them but the surrounding mud is very slippy and attempts to pull your wellies off with every step... so be warned!
Conditions were too bright at the time of our visit hence the mono conversion, but this would make a great location for sunrise or with a stormy backdrop. The boats in the graveyard are mostly all Fleetwood Trawlers left over from the Cod Wars of the 1970’s when the ships owners were paid to scrap them by the government.
A dipping winter sun skims across some West Highland 'nunataks', yesterday, as the dreaded necessity of disappearing downwards into the soggy fog loomed.
I initially thought about picking a way down Stob Ghabhar's narrow Aonach Eagach; a quick 'wee look' revealed rather a lot of very slippy, bulbous ice. The uniform southern flank seemed logical. therefore. The boundary posts provided a convenient 'hand-rail' through an ever darkening, gloomy world.
While most humans were comfy and warm in their beds I had the urge to head out in the dark to the Devonshire outback in below zero temperatures.
On this particular chilly frosty January morning I wasn’t sure which Tor to trek up to catch a sunrise. You have to make the most of the wonderful frosty conditions.
After reaching Princetown I carefully drove (slid) towards Merrivale but wasn’t aware how white the landscape was until I parked up and looked up at Great Staple Tor. I had 35 minutes before the official sunrise plus some extra time before the light would reach the rocky outcrop.
The views from up there were beautiful with mist drifting above the white giant patchwork quilt cover in the distant. (still thinking about my warm bed). I very carefully climbed up the slippy granite ready for the sun to shine behind me. I hadn’t been to this Tor with frost or snow so was simply taking in the breathtaking scenery in all directions.
This was my camera view minutes later when the sun peeked over the horizon and cast a beautiful orange glow over the Tor.
It was definitely worth the effort! - FB page, Vero, Instagram

This shot is literally right below the car park , so really quick access for this shot . But beware its also very quick access into the water as it is so slippy here..
Taken in Kirkcaldy at a location known as Seafield where there are some old ruins in the sea.
Was inspired to go here by Duncan Smith's awesome Seafield shots www.flickr.com/photos/duncansmith/2901803633/ Will return at dawn when conditions are better.
F11 120 second exposure. Had very tricky light as it was so bright behind the rocks so needed the grad filter which then darkened the rocks too much. PP managed to sort some of this out.
Tide was coming in so limited access, but know have a better idea of when to come here. Ended up walking on a slippy jetty that wasn't even wide enough to set up the tipod on but a rock at the end provide some more stable ground for a short time till the tide came in
Thanks for all your support for my move.
Elk unusually slightly miscalculated this in that she decided rather than jump across she'd swim ... you can tell by the look on her face ! ..... resulting in a bit of a slippy scrabble to get out this side. (no waterfall or nasties downstream you'll notice!)
I must admit I feel this shot is getting boring. I even used a tripod. From where you park by the bridge to the main shooting point has become a heavily trodden quagmire of slippy, black mud, the heather completely crushed below so many feet, and littered with tissue and sharp fragments of shattered filters.
The afternoon winter trek up High Cup Nick was certainly worth it. We encountered very few people all afternoon and had some really nice light as we climbed along the ridgeline to the head of the Valley.
Whilst at the top we did spot a couple of walkers make their way down the steep cliffs and then walk along the valley bottom, by the Gill. Neither of us had actually contemplated doing this before, we usually just retraced our path back down the Pennine Way to Dufton.
Having looked at the OS Map we saw that there was a track down in the valley, but it would involve a much longer walk back to Dufton.
Looking at the clouds on the far horizon it did look like we would get some late light shining up the valley before sunset. So we decided to go for this, in the hope of getting some different shots from down in the valley floor looking back up to the head of the valley.
The climb down was not for the feint hearted, being very steep and slippy, but it was the best decision we made, as we were treated to some great late sunlight and a few new compositions. So here is the first one and I'm sure John Bleakley will have some better ones from this part of our days 13 mile walk.
With the trees dropping their leaves on the line it is once again the time of the year when the RHTT (Rail Head Treatment Trains) can be seen spraying the tracks in an attempt to keep them leaf free. Leaves contain natural oils that make for slippy rails and to combat this problem the rail network is sprayed with water to clear away the leaves.
As can be seen this is a messy job that soon has the lovely Colas locomotive livery looking thoroughly filthy. 66848 and 56105 top and tail this service as it enters Hatfield and Stainforth station
One look out of my window amd I saw the mist and fog rolling in. Boots on, camera always ready and a short drive up to a local woodland. The ground was wet amd slippy due to a few hours of overnight rain trees were wet with lots of dark contrasting tones. Everything seemed perfect but, the mist had gone leaving a little soft light but not much. So I took a few photos which I'm happy with but nice to just get an hour to myself for some mental health time. Bonus was that I met up with a fellow photographer, I was wondering when our paths would cross.

A morning visit to Haukland beach in snowy and overcast conditions. A lovely beach with unusual patterns in the sand, which was very icy and slippy!
Descending from Sgùrr nan Gillean. The steep and narrow south east ridge is the only possible route up and down this peak for non-rock-climbers. It is entirely composed of the extremely rough (and therefore non-slippy) volcanic rock gabbro but requires a good head for heights.
In the background are Sgùrr Beag (top left) and Sgùrr na h-Uamha (top right). The latter would be a tempting target for the daring scrambler were it not for the problem of getting back down again, which requires rock-climbing skills.
Taken with my first digital camera, a Canon PowerShot A70 - a 3 MP point-and-shoot.
The river in spate after heavy rain, and it was still raining! The falls are just to my left here and were dramatic, but there was no way I was going to clamber down over slippy rocks! The Cpl filter really kicked the greens here.
The locally-born poet Ted Higher wrote the moving poem 'Six Young Men' after seeing a photograph of these local lads who went off to fight, and die, in WW1. There is a memorial plaque at the site.

With his leggy body and rugged, good looks, Slippy Channelock was quite popular with the local wrenches...
Small road / track that leads to a few more car spaces but quite
Uneven and difficult to walk on as rather muddy and slippy.
I do slip and i do slide
Over the beauty that does hide
Under the wetness, that did fall
Between the trees, bare and tall
Coating my fingers , lips and skin
Tempting me to explore within
The beauty that is now found
Slippy and wet, upon the ground

The snow was hard and very slippy but being close to this big tree there was good shelter against the freezing conditions.

This photo was taken during an urbex trip in an abandonned slate mine/quarry field.
As often in these, the old quarries are filled with water once finished with, and this one was giving such a blue color to the water.
After a dangerous walk down between trees and on slippy broken slates, we arrived on this sight which was stunning.
Very happy that it pleased you and thanks for the favs !
