This is the spectacular view you enjoy when you have made the steep climb up the "Old Corpse Road" path to these old ruins above Haweswater. I had been here a couple of times before, but wanted to try a morning shot when the light would hit the ruins and the distant Fells.
The sinister sounding name of the path is a throw back to the days when the village of Mardale was still well above the water levels of the much more recently created reservoir here. The deceased from the now submerged village were carried up and over here to the Parish of Shap for burial. The last body to make this journey was a certain John Holme in June of 1736 and yet the name of the track still retains this morose name!
This was actually one of the best days I've had out with the camera. It started with an impromptu, unplanned sunrise on Newbiggin Crag, before driving up and climbing up here. I then went on to climb the Riggindale Ridge, which you can see running up through the centre of this shot to High Street, which is the ridge on the skyline. Sadly, I slipped and twisted my right knee coming back down late in the day and the ligaments are still a bit sore today! The things you do in pursuit of photography!!
It's a huge, rare flower called Titan arum, also known as a corpse flower. That name comes from the putrid stench that the flower gives off, which smells like rotting flesh, in order to attract the insects that it needs for pollination. Carrion beetles and flesh flies are its natural pollinators in the wild.
Native to Sumatran rain forests, these plants are endangered, and most remaining plants are cultivated in gardens around the world. This one is currently on display at the Chicago Botanic Garden, in Glencoe, Illinois, and is one of 18 corpse flowers that are housed there.
At about 6 feet tall when this shot was taken, the plant is currently in bloom. They typically bloom every three to four years. That huge bud in the center, called a spadex, grows about 5 to 6 inches per day for about two weeks. Then the flower structure around the bottom, called the spathe, opens up and the plant blasts its foul smelling odor for several hours to attract pollinators.
The Chicago Botanic Garden works with other gardens around the country to facilitate cross pollination. Pollen is exchanged with other gardens that also house these plants. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the rectangular shape that is cut out near the bottom of the spathe is to facilitate the cross pollination effort.
Beautiful and terrible corpse mask in anime style.

A ruined barn just off the Old Corpse Road on Mardale Common.
Haweswater Reservoir fills the bottom of the valley with Harter and Riggindale Fells visible in the distance.
The Old Corpse Road runs from Mardale Green (now under the water of Haweswater Reservoir) to Swindle Head in the next valley to the east.

*EXPLORED FP* Thank you for your kind visits, comments & faves!!!
I’m feeling a bit nostalgic so I decided to work on another image from my very first portrait series, The Corpse Bride. Have a great weekend everyone :)
Did you know...your skin is translucent in infrared light? Not a corpse actually, but it sure has that appearance....
somehow that dandelion, wet after the storm, reminds me of the Corpse Bride. great film by Tim Burton :-)
I was going to post something else and write something else, but I felt I shouldn't post pone it...
First of all, this portrait came to my mind after I listened to some sad musics... which made me emotive and inspired to take it.
Second, I want to thank and dedicate this photo to Diego aka daveldoorf - a sweet, and great wildlife shooter, and Paul aka slimeface - another sweet and has some great landscapes photos to show.
There are some people - and they are just two exemples, but there's actually a bunch ;-) - that I really wait to read their comments. Some make me smile, laugh, blush; some are witty, caring, helping, smart and so on...
I just wanted them (and you all) to know I really (read and) enjoy your comments!
Third, Nathan told me about the Duke Gardens in New Jersey.
And what is happening there is weird, to say the least. If you would please take a look, specially if you are from the area... it will be appreciated :)

Eu ia postar outra foto e escrever outras coisas, mas senti que não seria bom adiar isso...
Primeiro, esse retrato me veio à mente depois de escutar umas músicas emo hahaha brincadeira, emo não... umas músicas tristes, que me deixaram emotiva e inspirada para tirar essa foto.
Segundo, Eu quero agradecer e dedicar essa foto ao Diego tcc daveldoorf - um fofo, e ótimo fotógrafo de animais, e Paul tcc slimeface - outro fofo e tem altas fotos de paisagens para mostrar.
Eles são alguns - apenas dois exemplos, na verdade tem vários ;-) - de pessoas que eu fico esperando para ler os comentários. Alguns me fazer sorrir, rir, ficar vermelha; alguns são engraçados, atenciosos, prestimosos, inteligentes, etc...
Eu só queria que eles (e vocês todos) soubessem que eu realmente (leio e) adoro seus comentários!
Terceiro, Nathan me contou sobre o Duke Gardens em Nova Jersey.
O que está acontecendo lá é no mínimo estranho. Se vocês derem uma olhada, especialmente aqueles que são ou estão na área... ficamos agradecidos :)
