He doesn't stop .. this was about his 5th time up and down this rock! Very slippy day too as it was raining. Reminds me of this border collie song by Rich hall .. frenetic! (but wouldn't have it any other way!)
The pathway became very rugged and covered in roots growing right over the narrow path !!
You really have to watch how you walk, it can be slippy too near the River.
The limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove.
The limestone blocks are known as 'clints' and the fissures between them are known as 'grykes'. When the pavement is wet from rain, beware - they are very, very slippy.

Also known as Trwyn Du Lighthouse stands at 29m tall in the eastern extremity of Anglesey North Wales, The Lighthouse has a stepped-base designed to discourage the huge upsurge of waves that had afflicted earlier lighthouses on the site and reduce the force of the water at the bottom of the tower.
When we arrived the tide was out leaving lots of green moss and extremely slippy rocks. I was walking for no more than about 1 minute before i flipped up and landing flat on my back thankfully nothing more than a few bruises and a cut on the arm as i left the camera gear in the car to have a look around first.
Please feel free to favourite and follow.
Fortuitously got exactly the angle to fire sparks almost into the camera. The rocks were too slippy to go wandering further out in the dark. Tide was just starting to go out. I reckon mebbe a walking pole and wellies might do the trick to get out on top of a table rock though.
We decided to go for a climb there is a good path but it was getting more slippy the further up we went.
This bridge on Dartmoor is well known and a lovely place to visit but sadly someone has smashed into it on the right side, leaving red plastic barriers in place of where the stone wall was. I had to adjust my composition accordingly, which leaves a less than ideal final image but better than nothing I suppose. The rocks you see at the bottom left of image were incredibly slippery which left my knees wondering what the hell I was even doing there, but I eventually managed to get my tripod set up where i wanted.
I do like the autumnal colours though and the leaves on those slippy rocks make the image for me.
I think my previous image focused too much on the flow, where as this one has a better balance to it.
This image was taken on my way back from Scotland in January. The steep road is affectionately known as 'The Struggle' and connects the Kirkstone Pass with Ambleside on Lake Windermere, which can be seen in the distance. I know the sign says 'road closed' and 'winter conditions can be hazardous' but my Land Rover Discovery, set in ice mode and low range third, had no trouble making it down the very slippy hill, and I wasn't the first as you can see from the tyre tracks!
Porth Nanven is a boulder strewn beach and a real challenge for the photographer, not only scrambling over the large, slippy rocks but to try and form a decent composition.
Here I used a 10 stop ND filter and a polarizing filter to soften the incoming waves.

The first glimpse of sunlight finally broke into the fairy glen this morning, despite endless showers since arriving at sunrise, throwing lovely soft light down through the autumn canopy onto its mossy walls.
The rest of the time was spent trying to stay dry from the showers while perched out in the river on impossibly slippy rocks, watching the salmon and dippers go about their business :-)
The rocky cutting in Gelt woods carved by the water running down here for many a year. Also a very tricky place to walk with it being damp and very slippy underfoot .
Anyone familiar with the film Trainspotting will recall this classic track.
I really think it was written with a certain Flickr celebrity in mind who has a propensity for assessing the tensile stress of his bones and who does not seem to grasp the concept of coefficient of friction.
Yes, you know who you are; Dr Born Slippy!
Since my snow scene did so well yesterday this is another one taken from the same spot only pointing the other direction. I am quite surprised I have not published these until now. I do hope you will have a nice day wherever you are and since it is Christmas time what about a Christmas Carol to get us going;
"See amid the winter’s snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Chorus
Hail, thou ever blessed morn;
Hail, redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem.
Christ is born in Bethlehem".
Hope you like it!!
Sunrise in Marsden Bay.South Shields.
My mission when i took this photograph was to walk from Marsden Rock along the shoreline to a large arch sited close to Souter lighthouse,and to capture sunrise through it.Looking on Google earth it looked do-able but the shoreline proved to be very rocky and very slippy.Finding I wasn't making enough progress and was in danger of causing myself an injury,I took a look at the sky and saw some intense colours developing.There was nothing to do but stop where i was and start shooting.

Not a lot I can say about these, except you take your life (and equipment) in yours hands or rather legs if you attempt to navigate through them. Far to slippy for me and my wellies. I even didn’t like angling my tripod and camera over the edge of the large rock ledge to shoot down but it’s produced something different from the location.
The first time I've got a shot I'm satisfied with from this beautiful place. It's so tricky with the contrast in light and shade and with so many trees it's hard to find a composition. Add to that the knee deep mud, jungle like foliage and slippy limestone rocks.
Near Settle, North Yorkshire. It was not easy to get to this spot. I had to descend a very steep and slippy limestone path under the trees and then scramble up a five foot overhang. Finally I had to carry my kit over wet and greasy green limestone. But well worth it.
Afterdark photographers could be described as a bunch of lunatics. Who else would venture in to the Derbyshire Peak District in freezing conditions, climbing and slipping up a snow covered hill to get the best vantage point for this traffic trail shot?
After battling the flooded roads on Tuesday to get to Buttermere Wednesday weather was just as bad with heavy rain all day until evening. Wednesday was a day of going out for a walk, get soaked, get dried and go out for a walk again. We had attempted to walk to Moss Force on the morning but the rain was horizontal so we headed down to the lake. In the afternoon it seemed less wild so we started again but that was an illusion and we were soon caught in the horizontal stuff again, poor Missy battled on and was very curious about the on looking sheep wondering if we were crazy. Despite the roads being in such a shocking condition we still had plenty of drivers out duelling the conditions on roads that are a challenge in good weather. It takes all sorts I know but for me the car is a means to an end, I use it to get to where I need to be and park up, for others it is the end and we had many a Stirling Moss doing the circuits of just passable roads. By the time we got to the waterfall we were soaked but the smile on Carla’s face was all the reward I needed. I had to get a better photo than the lay-by snappers so we climbed the wet path and I climbed up the last few slippy rocks to get a good position leaving Carla and Missy just a little lower on the path on saver ground. My stance was not great and the camera was soaked as the rain came down heavy, with each photo I wiped the lens unfortunately by now the lens cloth was also soaked so I was only smearing the lens. I took several photos at various speeds but most were contaminated by the conditions. This image posted seems to be the cleanest, hopefully you can appreciate the conditions from it.

Sgwd yr Eira is probably the most popular waterfall in „Waterfall Country“, the Vale of Neath in South Wales. Its popularity is mainly based on the opportunity to walk behind the curtain of water. Let’s be honest, who would not enjoy walking behind a waterfall?
The footpath leading to the foot of the falls is quite degraded and in some places blocked by large rocks that can be passed but the area terrain is hazardous and slippy underfoot. To me it was quite challenging, to get to the spot where I took this shot, especially because I was carrying camera gear that I didn't want to drown in the water or break on the rocks. I personally will never understand how a young mother in inappropriate footwear can carry her toddler around this area while playing with her phone…
There were two photographic challenges I had to master. One was to get a moment without too many people around, which wasn’t easy on a Sunday afternoon and brought my patience to the limit. The other challenge was the wind that blew the spray of the falls right into my direction. Not only that it was a proper test how good the weather sealing of my 70D works but the spray on the lens and filters can really drive you crazy.
Note to self: Revisit this beautiful waterfall in better weather conditions!
a rather sudden urge to have a walk up to this waterfall in the lake district todayon arrival i started to climb up this and realized that because of how wet it has been and the flow of water, it wasnt a very good idea at all. getting up was slippy but manageable but getting down was downright dangerous. im just glad that when i did finally slip i was only a couple of feet off the floor with a mossy branch to keep my balance.
lesson learned.
More shades of brown bracken, the trees with no leaves. It was very slippy, muddy and wet here underfoot. This picture was taken from the same location as yesterdays only pointing the other direction, There was a little snow on the Achanasheen hills, it was much cloudier this way.
Société du Chemin de Fer de la Gaspésie train 565 is dropping the 2.4% grade approaching the east siding switch at Escuminac with the day's production bound for the CN at Matapédia.
A few years back, VIA eastbound "Chaleur" made the local news as it stalled on this very same grade when a combination of heavy rain and falling leaves made the rails slippy beyond recovery for the underpowered nine-car train. After the fourth attempt, passengers were finally bused to their destination and the train was backed up to Matapédia, 27 miles away.

There is a lay by just outside Huntly where you can stop and admire the River Deveron. It was a nice day but it was very muddy underfoot. There is a path but you still need to mind how you go.
Late Evening at Loch Ard, Stirlingshire.
Was minus 3 degrees centigrade, slippy, very dark and I still couldnt help but marvel at how beautiful our land is.
Please feel free to add me as a contact - either here or on facebook - as I am always happy to connect with other amateur photographers of the world.

When I was visiting a few locations the other day I called into Lanercost and had a walk up to Quarry Beck Falls, this was about as close as I dared go as the underfoot conditions were very slippy and If I went any closer I might not have got back up that steep bank.

There is something about streams that I just find irresistible. Whenever I’m out I tend to try and walk near one and invariably find myself wading about in them, slipping around trying to set up the tripod! This particular stream was in the bottom of a steep shady gorge and on a distinct light less corner in the river, not far from Swinsty Reservoir. The stones you can see on the left were extremely slippy and I bet coming back when there is ice, would make it safer to walk across them! Once a month this river is flooded by the water company opening the reservoir and kayakers cascade down it! Good job I knew about this! Can you imagine how surprising it would be, minding your own business, tootling about in the river making images and all of a sudden, and a wall of water cascades down towards you! Not much fun legging it on the slippery rocks I bet!
My friend is not comfortable with heights. So I, being such a good friend, like to challenge her.
Took this a couple of days ago whilst out on a photo drive. It was a very cold, damp Winter day. The clouds were moving at a pace. My fingertips were numb as I had lent my hat and gloves to Jus.
Anyway, I am proud that she did it.
His name is Slippy. He comes from the North Pole !! :)

Although the clouds were heavy it didn't acually rain at all!!
I stood precariously upon the slippy rocks with the tripod in the sea itself to get this one!
It was clear fairly early that this track was challenging. It was quite slippy. I stayed as much as I could in the middle. What was not in doubt was the beauty of a snow covered landscape.

Found this unprocessed shot in my archives, an 80second exposure taken at the start of what turned out to be a particularly long and cold winter.
