Well, obviously a firm favourite with anyone who enjoys photography in the Peak District and having also now made our first trip there we can totally see why.
Not exactly the best of conditions, very dreary and lots of rain showers around (which as always, the minute we head for home, disappear!) There was some very fleeting brightness popped out on occasion and I managed to capture a fraction of it before it reverted to grey and drab. Even so, the hills and rock formations are magical, I'd planned on a nice little walk taking in the summits but alas, as mentioned, weather put paid to that. This is an area of the district we both really enjoyed and amongst the many places we've been to that we will revisit, this will be one that is sooner rather than later.

One never knows what to expect on Rannoch Moor except capture a great landscape, Loch Ba on a sunny day in late October 2014, it snowed the following day!
Taken last autumn at Crummock Water. On this occasion, I visited the Lake District after a period of heavy rain, so Crummock Water was a little more full than usual! In fact it was that full that the path that runs along this part of the lake was fully submerged under water and I had to get to this bit by walking along the wall next to the path. My plan was to get some reflection shots of Grasmoor, and I was lucky enough that it was so still!
This is a big, colourful duck, bigger than a mallard but smaller than a goose. Both sexes have a dark green head and neck, a chestnut belly stripe and a red bill. (RSPB)
Romans 12:2
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."
This image of a handsome Mandarin Duck was captured in an urban park somewhere in London. Although this particular duck was free-living, his relative fearlessness probably meant he interacted regularly with humans.
This species of duck is native to Eastern Asia (China, Japan and Russia), where they are now rare, although a large and thriving introduced population can be found in the British Isles and Western Europe, with additional smaller introductions in North America.
The Mandarin Duck is a very rare winter visitor to Hong Kong. Over the last five years of constant searching, I’ve only ever managed to see a single wild pair in Hong Kong.
Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in London, UK 英國倫敦. (Better viewed on a larger screen.)

Looking very reggae
Not really reggae but a bit of Ska. Saw this band twice on consecutive nights in the early 90s, first night at The Tivoli in Buckley, a mate got on stage to sing along to a cover of Tin Soldiers, still don't think the PA has recovered, anyway they must have liked him as he took them to play pool at the 147 in Liverpool the next night before their show (insert venue here, can't remember!). Good to see their gigs are as chaotic 30 odd years later!
Windsor Castle, at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, it is the oldest in continuous occupation.
We searched out photographic opportunities where the sea fog met the sun at about 150m above sea level.
