Solitary Strides
No voices here, save for the crunch of white on white.
A map of where one has been, etched in the cooling light.
The world is wide and hushed, and for a moment, the path is one's alone.

hanging out, or rather lurking, in the park at night, waiting for people to walk by, never suspecting they're becoming part of my personal pixel collection.

The fuller view of Phil beginning the traverse of the 'edge' with the summit of Helvellyn(3120ft) behind.
View of Striding Edge from the last acsent to the summit of Helvellyn, with Red Tarn to the left and Ullswater in the distance. It was great fun clambering along the ridge, the people at the bottom give a bit of scale to the landscape.

Limnoporus notabilis is a fairly common water strider in the Western United States and into Canada. We can see how it spreads its skinny legs out to support itself atop the pond surface.
Photographers notes: a circular polarizer was used to reduce the reflection from the water. We can see into the pond this way... somewhat ;-)
Surely the most interesting way to ascend Helvellyn is via the Lakelands best known edge. Under a threatening sky long term pal and hiking buddy Clyde is seen on one of the smaller pinnacles of the ridge.
Great weekend, including repeating a route I first did in horrendous conditions as a student. Much better this time. Cold and windy, but just the right amount of storm.
Here is my WIP Dave Strider doll, made from a Deuce head that was damaged horribly when I tried to remove his snake hair, so I sculpted it.
I based his eye shape from the flash Cascade and gave him white hair, cuz I really like the strangeness of the colour. He also got freckles cuz he’s a cutie and need to make him clothes and get glasses for him.
Possibly a Common Water Strider (Gerris remigis) near the Blue Hole spring at Ichetucknee Springs State Park.

I've uploaded this before (more than once) but here I've tried an alternative crop and reproduced it at a larger size. This gives a bit more "presence" I think but also shows the noise to bad effect. Anyway it's a record of a day out rather than an example of the landscape photographer's art.
"Helvellyn is a mountain marking the border of Westmorland and Cumberland, in the Lake District, the apex of the Eastern Fells. [] the highest point in the Lake District after Scafell Pike and Scafell, and the highest mountain in England after those latter fells. [] The name is also archaically written Helvillon, and is probably derived from the Cumbric language for 'yellow moor'; hal velyn. []
"Striding Edge is a notorious accident spot among hikers and scramblers. In winter conditions the climb from Striding Edge up to the summit plateau can involve crossing steep icy ground and a snow cornice, and can be the most dangerous part of the walk. Without an ice axe or crampons this presents a serious obstacle. In January 2008 two walkers died after falling from the ridge in separate incidents. Another walker died after falling from Striding Edge in May 2008. []."
The have been a few more deaths after 2008. The account above is now dated.
Most of the time, when someone walks into your shot, it's slightly annoying. In this circumstance, I think the pedestrian added to the image, and I didn't even see him coming.

Water striders are small insects that are adapted for life on top of still water, using surface tension to their advantage so they can “walk on water.” Water acts different at the surface. Water molecules are attracted to each other and like to stay together, especially on the surface where there is only air above.
They walk, run, hop, jump, hunt, eat, sleep and even mate on water's surface!
They belong to the family Gerridae, which is a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water skeeters, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or Jesus bugs.
