Ashness Bridge is perhaps the most photographed packhorse bridge in the English Lake District due to its location and stunning views. This traditional stone-built bridge is on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road to Watendlath. The bridge is known for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw, including views of Derwent Water nearby.

Nope, don't know it! Is this an ash oh wise people of Flickr?
Happy TmT!
Oh, also pleased to report my lens is getting fixed! And I am now £250 lighter 😬
This wonderful Ash tree is beside a country road near Oakley in Hampshire. It shows how unused the road is that the branches hang over the narrow road. Lovely to find silhouetted against a winter blue sky.

(PS...No blythes were injured in this series, especially sweet Ash, who signed a waiver when he arrived, to take on the girls of Jillybug Manor, with his owner, Angela's full blessings! Thinking of you in NC Angela...have fun & drive safe!!)

Much photographed Ashness Bridge in the English Lake District situated on the very narrow road to the tiny hamlet of Watendlath. The photograph was taken when a brief spell of sunshine lit up the Autumn colours of the trees.
Possibly the most photographed bridge in the popular and beautiful area that is the "Lake District".
………A cliché for sure but less often seen in B&W I thought! A stop off at Ashness Bridge on our way for a walk up Watendlath seeing as the bridge was quiet - normally there are hordes of folks busy snapping this old Packhorse bridge. Alan:-)…….

This flycatcher nests from Central Texas to the Pacific Coast of southern Oregon as well as down through Mexico.
The Ash-throated FC favors woodlands, thickets, and desert habitats and does not need to drink water as it gains all moisture from the insects it eats. I found this bird in Terlingua, Texas in the desert where daytime temps were hitting 110 degrees Fahrenheit in late June. I took this image in the evening as this bird and its mate were perching on some rather gangly thickets near their nesting box.

Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District. It is at grid reference NY270196, and is famous for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw. It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.[1]
Ashness Bridge is a small stone built bridge over a beck in Borrowdale, and one of the most photographed bridges in the entire Lake District. I sat on a rock in the middle of the river to get this shot, after trying a few different locations to shoot this bridge.
It's almost impossible to go to the lake district and not get roped into photographing one of its many jetties, and around Derwent Water, there are eight of them, where people can flag down one of the ferries and get onboard for a trip around the lake.
Ashness Jetty is easy to get to, just park in the car park and cross over the road to the lakeside. We stopped off here twice last week, once on Monday morning and again on Wednesday morning. This is a shot from Wednesday when the sky was really moody and stormy, and although the wind had died down there was still enough to produce a bit of movement in the clouds.
I did 40 second exposure to accentuate that movement and also to flatten out the choppy water on the lake for a more artistic effect.

My take on Ashness jetty, Derwent water, Lake District. I was hoping for a lovely sunset as the sun was due to set directly in line with ther jetty, but as expected in the Lakes, the clouds came in thick & fast!
I believe the climbing fraternity call this Mistress Slab, because it is so smooth on the other side it is a slippery bitch to climb on top of. I think I've called it Behemoth before as from the end it looks like the sharp bows of a massive ship, just the bows poking up above the waves, like Titanic. Whatever it is, this picture is not about that, but about the solitary mountain ash that has found the perfect niche to grow out of. I'm quite sure it will flourish there and grow to become quite a special feature of Dinorwic quarry as man's industry returns to nature.

Back to the Lake District today with another shot of Ashness Bridge.
I posted a shot of this from my first trip to the lakes, but I think I actually prefer this version. It was a moody day which meant the lack of light reduced any harsh shadows on the rocks.
This visit was a lot quieter than my first time there which was in the middle of the school holidays. This time we pretty much had the place to ourselves so we could take a bit longer getting the shots we wanted.
This is quite possibly the most photographed bridge in the Lake District and with views towards Derwent Water and Skiddaw you can see why, it's just stunning.
