(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?.........
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.
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
Rampart Range Road, Colorado Springs, CO - I just can't ever have too many photos of this giant chunk of granite ....
A quick iPhone snap before he flew away, and then fun in Photoshop to get this to be more painterly.

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
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
Looks like three steps for a giant to step up to the peak of Fleetwith Pike! Warnscale Bottom to the right and the valley of Gatesgarthdale Beck to the left which leads up towards the Honister Pass.
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 :-)

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.
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.
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).
