HSoS to all participants!

Taken while descending Steeple as sunset approaches.

Ennerdale Water is in the north-western region of the Lake District and is probably one of the most remote lakes there. It takes a long time to get to from the popular towns.

From here, it was still a long walk back to the car park, which is at the far end of the lake.. ended up walking in the dark, guided by a head torch.

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.

..and a host of midges.

A misty morning on Croham Hurst yesterday as the warm sun heated the overnight frost.

Absolutely nothing done to this

SOOC challenge. Taken for Smile on Saturday theme flora. Nikon jpeg vivid, uncropped.

..the natural sequel to foggy nights. This was taken on Croham Hurst in Croydon.

Sanderstead All Saints church during the recent snowfall before Christmas.

Happy Bench Monday!

At the start of the ascent via Blacksail pass.. after a two and half hour walk from the car park, along this valley bottom.

.. the pine forest known as "the giant caterpillar" from the previous shot. This is the western side of the outcrop known as The Rigg on the Haweswater reservoir, where the pines are more spaced out allowing lush vegetation to grow.

Great theme for the upcoming smile on saturday photographers! We are supposed to share a pure straight out of camera (SOOC) floral image.

 

I decided to participate with this orange floral nature shot. I took this image back in 2020 and it came out nearly perfect according to colours. I only placed my mandatory watermark on it. Nothing else is after processed. What you see is the untouched image. No editing of sharpness, colours, cropping or anything else.

 

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Getting these Herdies to all smile and look at the camera at the same time is really, really hard..

This photo comes with a Cuteness Warning.. you have been warned :-)

Taken on Hart Crag on the Fairfield horseshoe.

One of the many stone bridges in the Lake District, this old packhorse bridge is near Ambleside and is a pedestrian bridge linking the church at Brathay to the main road on the other side of the river Brathay.

Cheesefoot Head, Hampshire.

Happy Fence Good Friday!

With some nice light on Kirk Fell.

Taken on Monday. The weather was warm and calm. Ascent via Slight Side, starting in Eskdale at Wha House Farm. A grand day out on the fells!

Part of the footpath that runs around Derwentwater is boarded. Taken a year ago today.

Happy Fence Friday folks, have a great weekend.

 

Thank you for all your kind comments and faves, they are all appreciated very much.

Smile on Saturday: Flora SOOC

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..

Smile on Saturday

Geranium??

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!

Smile on Saturday, "Flora SOOC".

(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.

 

Happy windows Wednesday.

For completion, this is the other end of Sanderstead shopping parade. The barbers has a wonderful display of barbering tools and some very fine and expensive looking chairs. Given that they only opened a few months before the first lockdown, the financial suffering must be immense.

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.
