" And I shall have some peace there, For peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veil of morn, To where the cricket sings,

Where midnights all a glimmer, And noon a purple glow,

And evenings filled with linnets wings "

{William Butler Yeats}

This stream comes from a spring that cascades out from under a boulder high up on the ridge in the distance. It plays it own special music as it tumbles down the mountain where it joins many other such streams, eventually forming the great Vartry river which enters the port of Wicklow 20 miles to the south east.

The lone Mountain Ash stands and watches its passing as it has done for so many years.

A wild and a beautiful place.

This Blue Heron lives at Fassnight Park, about a five-minute walk from our home, and has become so used to us stalking him that occasionally he seems to pause for the camera to accomodate us before continuing his search for crawdads and minnows. . .

Chalk streams are rivers that rise from springs in landscapes with chalk bedrock. Since chalk is permeable, water percolates easily through the ground to the water table and chalk streams therefore receive little surface runoff. ... Of the 210 rivers classified as chalk streams globally, 160 are in England

Spring-fed on the flank of Mt. Hood.

Hope you like this l/e. A lovely peaceful place.

This is only 1km from my house in a beautiful ancient wood. Its very quiet and very few people go to this part of it. A great place to practice long exposure photos or lose yourself.

Thanks for all your kind words and favourites.

Hope you like it.

Keep Well!

Im just amazed how this pic has taken off. I wasnt sure if it was good enough but thats always me as its impossble to judge your own photos really. Im struggling now to catch up with all of you but bear with me as Ill get to you!!

For your info. I used a 6 stop variable nd filter. Took the photo at F7.1 in app prio. Shutter speed came up at one eight of a second. Going up 6 stops gave me 8 seconds shutter speed. Put the camera in Shutter prio at 8 secs.Switched to manual focus. Screwed on filter and took the photo.Its not bad though there is a bit of a colour cast but I like that. Should have covered the lens better.

Heres a great vid from "the man" Graham Haughton. Super!

After a late rise on my day off I discovered it was foggy. So hopped onto the bus that went to Ljungskile and hiked up to Tjölstelsröd nature reserve for a day out. Sadly by the time I got there most of the fog had lifted but you can never go wrong when spending the day out in nature. Last time I took a picture from here I was balancing on that foreground rock with my tripod sitting precariously on the darker rock just above it. Today I played it safe and just stood beside the stream :D
