In this part of the U.K., the nearer you get to the coast, the flatter the land becomes. This area of West Lancashire is known for its ideal farming conditions. There are hundreds of market gardens all specialising in various vegetables and fruits. Today we visited Pumpkin Valley near Ormskirk. Standing in the Pumpkin Patch, you can see for miles. Behind me is Formby on the west coast, maybe 7 or so miles. In front of us here we can see the tiny village of Aughton with its church, Christchurch sitting sleepily on the rise of the land some 3 miles away. The clouds by the way were as angry as you see them, laden with squally showers. Yes, we got drenched as we found out. Standing in the middle of a pumpkin patch, there is nowhere to shelter from. But the Autumn colours are well in evident here. Thank you for looking..
I ended up taking quite a few from this location! I had to rush to get a frame of B&W (Delta 100) loaded into the camera, given that a gust of wind started playing with the fog in the valley to the right. All in all, I think this still has something to offer along side the colour versions, so I'm rather pleased I managed to get it in time!
Looking the other way 2 - towards The Latchmere Pub. Showing Battersea Park Road, the old Latchmere Labour Exchange (on the corner by the big lorry) St Saviours is in the bottom left corner. Taken from a recently built 20 story Tower Block. It was the ONLY tower block on the South side of Battersea Park Road THEN, now there is a sea of them. There was NO security door in those days, you just walked through an open space and climbed the stairs -
I expected to get thrown out the building, any minute, if noticed by a tenant.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - This cave that connects to the Indian Tunnel was deep enough to be pitch black at the end. This is what it looked like when I came back towards the light.
We went out very early with our little dogs expecting a great day. Even if there was rain forecast for 7am until about 8am we might catch a nice dawn at Ramshaw Rocks. But the rain just got heavier and heavier. And so we headed to Millers Dale and took a walk into Chee Dale where the dogs could run free. There was some shelter from the incessant rain under the trees and inside the gorge but the mud was thick and slippery. However there was some respite in the long tunnel and we emerged briefly into weak sunshine. With muddy boots and dogs we then headed over towards Sparrowpit and immediately had to set off on foot into rain and a stiffening breeze. And then it just got wetter and worse, but here there was less mud and at least our boots got washed off even if our legs got soaked. We emerged onto a hillock to see a short splash of strong sunlight and then the heavy dark cloud came over us and it poured down once more as we made it back to our cars. We had got some fresh air and exercise, and the dogs tired themselves out, but it was not the morning we had planned for. I got home, had a hot bath, bathed the dog and climbed into bed for the lie-in I should have had this morning.
This shows the view towards Helvellyn from inside the stone circle at Castlerigg, near Keswick. Looks OK viewed large.
The setting for this 4,000 yr old stone circle is so beautiful and the whole site has free public access.
There are superb views from the site, with Skiddaw to the north west, Blencathra to the north east, Helvellyn to the south east and the Derwent hills to the west.
The valley below is several hundred feet below and at a distance.
The field itself is grazed by sheep, and there were several ewes with their lambs.
Well worth a visit!
We wanted to get there early to catch some low lying mist and sunrise peace.
Shooting into a dark valley whilst the sun rises is indeed a challenge, more so without any filters to balance the light, even bracketing didn’t yield the results I’d hoped for. So, this is a single shot across the water towards the bridge, the morning sun bathing the mountain side in gold whilst the night held onto the shadows with its cold blue hue, the mist played across the water and despite the shooting difficulties,the clouds that were promised not making an appearance, and major amount of silt in my boots, we had a great morning!
this shoot i brought a other photographer. usually when i ask them about their best shoot it looks different than what they post. but in our group nobody is toughing me anymore. they always see my post is what they see right after the shooting. still a shoot with such low light and circumstances, demand some crop. then alignment, resize and watermark. nothing else edited
