Fine feathered fellow captured on the footbridge at the Boston Public Garden.
Apps: mostly finished in Snapseed (add grainy texture, selective edits, frame) and Pixelmator (a little work around the eye to sharpen it a bit). Final edit (brilliance) in Photos app on an iPad Pro.
The view down to Lingcomb Edge as a couple were walking the High Stile ridge from South to North so their hike was coming to an end while mine was still beginning. Taken on the way up to Red Pike which has a lot of loose ruddy scree on the top, which gives it its name.
The word "Lingcomb" means heath edge from the old English words ling (heath, heather) and comb (edge). Another translation could be "Heath cliff"..
..and some gorgeous sunset light illuminating Rannerdale Knotts and the Buttermere valley, taken during the last stretch of the descent from Grasmoor via the Lad Hows route.
That's the High Stile ridge in the background, which I hope to be able to do today if the weather clears up as it's forecast to.
The legendary King Arthur has a direct association with the Castle Rocks of St John, courtesy of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem of 1813, Bridal of Triermain. The poem tells the story of a young knight named Roland de Vaux who falls in love with a mysterious woman named Gyneth, who is revealed to be a fairy queen. The story takes place in the scenic Vale of St. John, near the town of Triermain. Gwyneth resides in the castle there (Castle Rock).
Synopsis of the poem:
The Bridal of Triermain interweaves three stories, all with a Lake District setting: the eighteenth-century courtship of Arthur and Lucy, the Arthurian Legend of 'Lyulph's Tale', and the twelfth-century romance of Sir Roland de Vaux.
In order to warn his aristocratic lover Lucy against excessive maidenly pride, the low-born poet Arthur recites 'Lyulph's Tale' in cantos I-II. He tells how how King Arthur is seduced by the enchantress Guendolen. When he abandons the pregnant Guendolen to resume his kingly duties, she swears revenge. Sixteen years later, the fruit of their union, Gyneth appears at Camelot to remind Arthur of his promise that should he and Guendolen produce a daughter, she would wed the bravest of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur declares a tournament with Gyneth's hand as the prize but instructs her to halt the combat before lives are lost. As the instrument of her mother's wrath, however, she does nothing to end the ferocious fighting, until Merlin arises from a chasm in the ground to punish her. She is sentenced to slumber in Guendolen's enchanted castle until awakened by a knight as brave as any of the Round Table.
The poet Arthur's courtship of Lucy proves successful and, following their marriage, Lucy begs him to tell of Gyneth's fate. In the third and final canto, then, he recounts the quest of the twelfth-century knight Sir Roland de Vaux of Triermain. He has heard Gyneth's legend and sets out to find the enchanted castle. Having located it in the Valley of Saint John, he successfully passes through a series of allegorical dangers and temptations (Fear, Avarice, Sensuality, Ambition) to awaken Gyneth from her five hundred-year sleep and win her hand.

The GX9 has some tricks up it's sleeve that the S5 or S5mk2 don't, such as in-camera panorama. It's not a perfect implementation: the resolution could be higher and it doesn't cope well with exposure changes during the pan unless you remember to lock exposure before pressing the shutter button, but it's a great feature to have to capture memories quickly.
A perfect evening with my son
