(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?.........
Keuze stress voor de Animal Eye af van mijn nieuwe camera :-)

Side Pike and the Langdale Pikes.
I think I've posted similar before.. can't quite get it right, but it's a grand view :-)
The distinctive, serpent-shaped top of Causey Pike is seen here from neighbouring Scar Crags, to which it is joined by a lofty ridge.
The day had been very bright and unseasonably (perhaps even unreasonably) warm, but hazy, yet this is what happened as the sun went down to bed...
On the horizon are Blencathra on the left and the Helvellyn range to the right of Causey Pike, with Catstycam and Helvellyn on the extreme right.
Rampart Range Road, Colorado Springs, CO - I just can't ever have too many photos of this giant chunk of granite ....
Hartshead Pike is a hill in Tameside in Greater Manchester, England, and its name is associated with the monument on its summit. It overlooks Ashton-under-Lyne, Mossley and Oldham. Hartshead Pike Tower has been a Grade II Listed building since 1967. Wikipedia

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
Walking down the ridge from Crag Hill, over Sail to Causey Pike to descend by the steep drop from Rowling End into the hamlet of Stair. Then a quick walk to the pub in Swinside
All located in the English Lake District National Park
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
Nice walk up to the 1538ft summit of Alphin pike via Wimberry stones from Binn green...Apparently Alphin was the name of a giant that lived on the hill, He fell in love with a water nymph called Rimmon, but things are never straightforward in love as another giant from across the valley,Alderman also fell for her, They began a battle hurling huge rocks at each other across the valley...These rocks are still in place today where they fell
Sadly, scenery like this is slowly disappearing in my county.

Causey Pike is a fell in the English Lake District. It is situated in the Newlands Valley, 5 km south-west of the town of Keswick. Even though it has a modest height of 637 metres (2,090 ft) it is one of the most distinctive fells when viewed from the Derwent Water and Keswick area due to its distinguishing summit "knobble" which catches the eye.
Hartshead Pike Tower was originally built in 1751 and was rebuilt in 1863. The Tower was open to the public in the 1930s and included a sweet shop. But it was closed at the outbreak of the Second World War and has been bricked up ever since.
The Langdale Pikes seen over Blea Tarn in the English Lake District. A long exposure captures movement in the clouds and grass in the water yet freezes movement in the lake to enhance the reflection.
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 :-)
Seen from Combe Door on Glaramara.
Pike of Stickle, also known as Pike O' Stickle was the centre of the Neolithic Langdale axe industry, which dates from around 4,000–3,500 BC. The area has outcrops of fine-grained greenstone or hornstone suitable for making polished stone axes. Such axes have been found distributed across Great Britain.
Lots of editing on this one to recover sky detail (and convert it to B&W).
I enjoyed a walk up there a few weeks ago, up Whiteless Pike, centre, and then on to Crag Hill, beyond it..
