Taken near the end of a very hairy climb up Pillar via the high-level route yesterday. It took much longer than expected but that worked out well as the dull cloudy day transformed into beautiful weather conditions for the rest of the walk after reaching the summit of Pillar. Steeple is another Wainwright summit and the third climbed during the day. This was taken from Black Crag.
At the start of the ascent via Blacksail pass.. after a two and half hour walk from the car park, along this valley bottom.
Happy Fence Friday folks, have a great weekend.
Thank you for all your kind comments and faves, they are all appreciated very much.
SOOC means Straight Out Of the Camera.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my picture. I really appreciate it.
I have not had much time for photography recently but was fairly pleased with how my new phone handled night shots during a quick tour of the (ex-) Unesco World Heritage docklands site in Liverpool. Best not to zoom in though..
The shopping centre of Exeter. The illuminated benches in the foreground completely change colour constantly, I found this combination to be the most pleasing.
HBM!
Where the Vanguard Way and the North Downs Way join briefly and lead off Pitchfont Lane in Titsey Park.

(Straight Out Of Camera)
I'm taking this opportunity to tell you that this is how I see everything around me right now. I have a vision problem, I have cataracts in both eyes and I will have the first cataract surgery on my left eye in November and the surgery on my right eye in January. I am forbidden to strain my eyes in particular work on the computer and phone, as well as use the camera.
I'm not a very obedient patient, so at least one hour a day I have to take a picture or process a photo. Processing photos and writing is very tiring for me because I have to bring the monitor closer to my eyes at a distance of 15-20 cm. It was very hard for me to miss some topics that I love. I want to apologize for not writing comments under your wonderful photos and I hope you will understand me. If you are wondering how some of my pictures have such a clean focus, I will tell you that the secret is in the autofocus and the red dot that flashes in my viewfinder. When the red dot starts flashing, I shoot, and then comes the much more difficult part for me, processing the photos.
HSoS!
The poor campers below have just given up trying to erect their tent in the strong breeze. I couldn't help feeling they had chosen the wrong spot, as the wind was rushing up the valley and being channeled into Scandale Pass. And their tent was a very high sided affair.
The slopes of Red Screes are on the left and High Crag and Low Crag on the eastern edge of the Fairfield horseshoe on the right. The lake in the distance is Windermere.
Haweswater is a reservoir built in the valley of Mardale. The controversial construction of the Haweswater dam was started in 1929, after Parliament passed an Act giving Manchester Corporation permission to build the reservoir to supply water for the urban conurbations of north-west England.
At the time there was much public outcry about the decision as the valley of Mardale was populated by the farming villages of Measand and Mardale Green, and the construction of the reservoir would mean that these villages would be flooded and lost, and the population would have to be moved. In addition the valley was considered one of the most picturesque in Westmorland, and many people thought it should be left alone.
All the farms and houses of the villages of Mardale and Measand, and the Dun Bull Inn were pulled down. Coffins were removed from the graveyard, and buried elsewhere, and Mardale church was demolished. At times of drought, when the water level is low, many people go back to see what is left of the village of Mardale.

Or a peak or two across the water..
Taken at the end of a fantastic walk from Keswick to Ashness Bridge via Walla Crag and back via Great Wood and Derwent Water, on a beautiful Spring day.

Bayleaf is a timber-framed hall-house dating mainly from the early 15th century. The central hall, heated by an open fire, is flanked at one end by service rooms and at the other by rooms for the owner and his family.

The Fairfield horseshoe needs no map for the first half, if doing it in the anti-clockwise direction, you simply follow the wall, at least as far as Dove Crag. This is the Lake District in North West England. The lake straight ahead on the horizon is Windermere, the one to the right is Coniston.
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.
