(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.
heron grabbing a pike I missed the best shot as it took off and landed on dry land to stop it dropping it as i was sitting in the wrong spot
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 :-)

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 :-)
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 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.
Fleetwith Pike is a fell in the English Lake District in the county of Cumbria which reaches a height of 648 metres (2,126 feet). The fell is a well-known feature of the area as it casts an imposing presence over Buttermere and the Honister Pass.
Rampart Range Road, Colorado Springs, CO - I just can't ever have too many photos of this giant chunk of granite ....
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
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
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

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.

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.
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 :-)
Last night this beautiful barn was struck by lightning. It burned to the ground. I am so sad, it was such a beautiful sight to see. I took this photo about 10 years ago, as the sun rose over the hills to the east. That is Pikes Peak in the background. UPDATE, Sadly this lovely barn was struck by lightning and burnt to the ground in 2023.
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).
