(Phalacrocorax carbo) A bit of a rearview shot but this is the first time I've ever seen a cormorant catch a pike! Why do they always surface facing away from you?.........
Pike of Blisco (height: 2304 ft / 702 m) seen from Side Pike, where I had the good fortune to meet one of my favourite Flickr phorographers, Terry Roberts www.flickr.com/photos/13922644@N05/.
He shared some excellent tips as we shot the sunset together over the Great Langdale valley.
Taken in 65:24 aspect ratio, which is something I've been experimenting with recently. It really suits a lot of landscape scenes and I like it a lot.
Side Pike, Langdale- Lake District, Cumbria
All the effort trekking up the hills paid off with the amazing view.
The weather forecast was for showers and sunshine all day which for me makes great conditions to be in the Lakes .
If you look to the top of the pikes you can see the hikers doing what they love and the autumnal colours are starting to show now.
You just gotta love The Lake District.
Stoodley Pike is a 1,300-foot (400 m) hill in the south Pennines in West Yorkshire in northern England. It is noted for the 121-foot (37 m) Stoodley Pike Monument at its summit, which dominates the moors of the upper Calder Valley and the market town of Todmorden. The monument is near the villages of Mankinholes and Lumbutts, West Yorkshire, and was designed in 1854 by local architect James Green, and completed in 1856 at the end of the Crimean War.
The monument replaced an earlier structure, started in 1814 and commemorating the defeat of Napoleon and the surrender of Paris. It was completed in 1815, after the Battle of Waterloo (Napoleonic Wars), but collapsed in 1854 after an earlier lightning strike, and decades of weathering. (Wiki)
The view over to the Langdale Pikes from Low Wood Bay on Windermere.
I'd noticed this view several times whilst driving into the Lakes and thought there was a sunrise shot to be had. I had envisaged a wider shot with a flat calm Windermere in the foreground with the deep orange hues on the fells that accompany sunrise.
This was mid morning and I liked the shadows the clouds were casting onto the fell side.
I checked in to my camp site after and went for a wander around Keswick ending up in Pete Tasker's Viewpoint Gallery and saw a Winter image he'd taken of the same view with snow on the tops and a flat calm Windermere. It's a stunning image as are all his shots and I ended up buying a print of it.
I know we haven't had Summer yet but I'm already looking forward to Winter.
Keuze stress voor de Animal Eye af van mijn nieuwe camera :-)

Pike of Blisco and Cold Pike to be precise. Both Wainwrights bagged , and Crinkle Crags too :-) A fabulous walk. Crinkle Crags in particular was spectacular.
Tranquility, calm, peaceful, serenity. I can continue to go on and on...this place is surreal.

I WILL BE AWAY FOR A WEEK FROM TOMORROW BUT MAY STILL BE ABLE TO POST AND COMMENT ON PICTURES (NOT SURE)... THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT... Paul
Levisa Branch loads navigate through rural Pike County on the very edge of Eastern Kentucky while on their way to the Pocahontas main. The road in the foreground was once the narrow gauge Big Sandy and Cumberland Railroad.
High Pike is one of the most northerly of all the lakeland fells and is located in a vast area known as ‘Back o’Skiddaw’ which is quite unlike the rest of the Lake District – a lonely wilderness where you can walk all day and hardly see another soul. It’s a wonderful place
Sadly, scenery like this is slowly disappearing in my county.

I have never seen a Kingfisher catch such a large fish i think it must of said its name was pike 😀📷 we didn't see it eaten but this male was an expert fisher.
Langdale Pikes towering above the valley of Great Langdale as seen from the slopes of Side Pike. The head of Great Langdale is in deep shadow from the heavy cloud looming over the mountains while sunshine has broken through on part of the Pikes.

The Langdale Pikes
A shot from a month ago and a gorgeous cloud inversion in the Langdale Valley. This was from Side Pike, a great place to view the light hitting the tops as the inversion swirled around the Pikes.

Side Pike, a great place to view the Langdale Pikes.

The guy below was part of a bigger party, all of them did a diversion and ascended Angletarn Pikes with him so he could bag a Wainwright. Apparently the last time he was here he went to Angletarn's other summit which doesn't count. Good friends, but there was a bit of ribbing :-)

Great Langdale is a valley in the Lake District National Park in North West England, the epithet Great distinguishing it from the neighbouring valley of Little Langdale.
Langdale is a popular location for hikers, climbers, fell-runners and other outdoor enthusiasts who are attracted by the many fells ringing the head of the valley. Among the best-known features of Great Langdale are the Langdale Pikes, a group of peaks on the northern side of the dale. England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, can be climbed by a route from Langdale. Langdale has views of, in particular, Dungeon Ghyll Force waterfall, Harrison Stickle and Pike of Stickle.
Langdale was an important site during the Neolithic period for producing stone axes, and was also one of the centres of the Lakeland slate industry.
