Well I had a great day out climbing and walking and pushing myself a little bit around Edale, but it was worth it!
Nothing like a good workout climbing up and walking for a good 6 miles or so and enjoying breathtaking light and views of the peak district
It was also nice to have met Paul Newcombe too whose stream can be seen here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/30071959@N07/
Thanks to Harsh for keeping me motivated during our descent down at 10.00pm!
It took some time but I finally got Stud.io to render some images of M/Y Scout. I did miss a few pieces here and there. wil make new ones and upload them asap
A quick break with the van at a ruin somewhere in Germany because Peter needs to pee.
OLEG:
Are you done peeing Peter, we have to move on.
PETER:
Oleg...Scout is here with a van!!!!
OLEG:
Nonsense. Scout is in Australia with Paddy and Rosie.
Paddy hasn't told me anything about it. I will come and see. You know what happens to your nose when you lie Peter.
PETER:
I'm not lying....look his name is on the van.
OLEG:
You're right that the letters Scout are on it, but there are a few other letters in front of it. I read the word GLOBESCOUT. That's the brand of a van.
Come Peter...no more nonsense now. Mummy Marian, Jan and Fenre are waiting for us. We need to drive on.
Halfway back:
PETER:
Oleg...I haven't peed yet.
OLEG: sigh
A Scout Trooper, aka a Biker Scout, are light-armored variants of the Imperial stormtroopers.
I find this figure in the toy box and ask myself why I haven't taken any photographs of it yet? I'm sort of continuing with the same theme as I did with Imperial Protocol Droid, but this time in colors.
Well I got up this morning and said, I think I will do Kinder downfall, I forgot how hard it is. So to Glossop I went and then from Glossop over Mill hill. I go over mill hill and then the Old man was just looking at me as to say come then, I took my first shots to get this Panorama, Then the big climb. well I got up puffing and panting, It was hard going as the snow was still around and deep, I got to the down fall and took some shots had a bit to eat and then off back down but over the Pennine way to the snake and down the snake, I was going to go down Doctors gate but just to shattered so I stuck to the snake, in to glossop and home. It was great to see Kinder scout in full splendour and the downfall was fab but not blowing back up.
Close to home.
Christmas Day walk around the village.
This year I’ve deliberately looked for the run down, neglected, overgrown and overshadowed by infrastructure. Several snapshots of the state of the nation. A couple of images are a bit off topic so your eyes aren’t deceiving you if there’s an unexpected “nice” scene or two in the series.
It was a bit too dark and overcast for a film camera so I fell back on my trusty Olympus set to “Grainy Film II” mode. A more forgiving camera when it comes to poor light.
A lovely pair of eagles...scouting for lunch. Amazing birds.
Thanks for your visit, comments, faves and invites!
Have a fantastic day!
This year i decided to set myself a photography challenge.
I live near 4 reservoirs, Ingbirchworth, Scout dike, Royd moor and Broadstones, about a mile an half radius between them, so very close together.
I walk them often with Honey and I've photographed them often with varying degrees of success.
My challenge to myself is to get 12 photos for a 2020 calendar, the photos must contain one sunset and one sunrise from each reservoir and one general shot from each reservoir, all photos taken this year 2019, so no older photos from previous years.
Ive set up an album to put the photos in to, but photos can be removed if i take a better one, as long as at end of year the album as the 12 photos as described above.
The above photo is the first to enter album, though i very much hope it doesn't stay there, far too many faults to it. It was taken at Scout dike reservoir.
The reservoirs are quite different and it will be a challenge to get 12 images I'm happy with, I've put a link below with a map showing the four reservoirs, if you click it you can see it larger.

I spent a couple hours hiking around the periphery of Scout Lake today. It's a beautiful little lake near Whitehorse, and a great place to do a little fishing.
I'm not sure why, but for some reason, I haven't been out to Scout Lake for years. I rectified that today with a visit and a hike clear around the lake. Obviously, I had forgotten how beautiful it is.
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L. Finished images processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom. This photo was not cropped, other than a slight straightening of the horizon. It is not a composite image and no elements have been added or removed from the original photo.

Westland Scout AH.Mk.1 of the Army Historic Flight, on the grass at Solent Airport (ex RNAS Daedalus) on the evening of the airshow's first day, captured at sunset during the arranged photoshoot. High winds kept a number of participants away but the debris in the air provided a nice glow to the west as the sun went down.
Eisenkaiser Waffenfabrik bought the prototype of the cloudforce scout and made it more friendly to mobile units, using it as a heavy battle rifle. The troops loved its fall woodland paint scheme, but the didn't love its heft. Sadly the rifle was still too heavy for troops on the move.
Fur Firearms quickly bought up the rights to the rifle realizing it was meant for long distance support. They replaced the detachable stock for an improved solid stock, and reworked the entire upper receiver to facilitate better locking times. FF decked out their new sniper with top of the line hunting equipment knowing that a good sniper is but a hunter of men.
Not long after FF improved the scout rifle, an underground mercenary group known as the Rose Mark Industries began purchasing and modifying the rifle for personal use. They had an elite group of assassins that had a very minimalist approach to their job an desired only the simplest tools. The RMI scout rifle was silent, and posessed a mid range 6x scope. Bipods were not needed as they opted for for whatever they had around them for support. This led to s much lighter rifle.
