Another day with a forecast of low cloud and >95% chance of rain. In these conditions there isn't much else other than fast flowing rivers that are worthwhile capturing.
Today, we travelled to Buttermere via Cockermouth and Crummock Water to reach the foot of Scale Force, a huge waterfall that sits in a gorge on red pike and feeds Crummock Water via Scale Beck. It's actually the tallest waterfall in the Lake District at 170ft tall.
I've been to Buttermere a number of times and never seen Scale Force flowing as quickly as it was today. We could even hear it from over 1/2 a kilometre away.
Looks like there's a path way down at the bottom of the valley overlook - too bad we didn't get a chance to shoot down there during the workshop. Could have been cool. I loved this little tree all on its own.

EB CN grain train G898 is on its knees as it climbs out of the Mississippi River valley. The train is cresting the highest elevation on the railroad ( in the state of Illinois ) at Scales Mound. The train could be heard 15 minutes before it arrived. Thanks to Craig for the intel.
I would have preferred a 50mm shot off the road bridge that I am on, but there is a thick wire going across the tracks. I am standing on the roof of my truck, in order to get above the wire. No way to get below the wire.
Coming back down Mellbreak I diverted to Scale Force waterfall.. what you can see is the small bottom drop of the waterfall, the main part of the fall can be seen in the background..
the shot is hand held, trying to get a bit of motion blur.. I took a few and this was the one that came out best :-)
A line of hikers making the ascent. Also reminds me of the 'ants go marching...'
Bonus points if you see the two hikers descending.
Thanks for looking!

I thought I'd have an outing before my area goes in to Covid Tier 3 tomorrow. Revisited Scale Haw Force hoping, this time, for some autumnal colours but suspect I'd missed the best of it.
This image is two photos focus stacked.
Plenty of trees at the park. Taman Botani has themed gardens of various places...this is the mediterranean species - i cant recall the species. A rustic bark and compound leaves, just wonderful in the diffused light.
A capture from my recent outing with Zyker and Azr at the Taman Botani, Putrajaya.

A set of English G Salter & Co public weighing scales No 308 , They were popularly seen on railway platforms and outside Post Offices when I was a boy fifty to sixty years ago . You could weigh yourself for a penny . A shot from my last home where these scales resided on the side verandah in the late 80's to early 1990's

Fish check in progress ... I think I have that same look when staring at a bowl of hot apple pie and ice cream :)
The best way to visualize size is to compare the unknown to a known. Most have a good idea of the size of a Vole, so now you can better understand the size of a Northern Pygmy-Owl.
