A spring afternoon photo of Colorado’s Pikes Peak.

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)

One of the best roads I have driven on this past year

A very dramatic view of Langdale Pikes bathed in late Afternoon Autumn light.

Buttermere and Fleetwith Pike (with the odd little snow patch visible across the skyline) on a glorious April evening last year. We could only make a fleeting visit as we were on our way to meet up with some friends in Loweswater, but the short time we had was great!

HFF! to all.

The moment everyone is there for, the throwing of the fish!

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.

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.

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.

looks like a medowlark maybe? on a fence at sunrise.

A slightly different view of Side Pike, a little bit closer :-)

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

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.

Very nicely lit..

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.
