Another tree from around Crummock water ,
i think i have become obsessed with trees lol .
This is last one i promise ....... well till my next trip :)
I have posted a similar image of this tree ,But this was shot with slide film the other was print film .
I liked the shape of the branches on this tree , i noticed on my last trip to the lakes that a considerable amount of trees have suffered some kind of storm damage . Either broken or completely blown down :(
I have noticed the same on my last few trips to Wales also , A result of a changing climate i guess ???

Eileen Donan Castle, Scotland .....

Via Flickr:
I`v not been out much lately due to work and rain , hoping to get out tomorrow ( or today i should say )but the weather is forecast rain again :(
So i have been mooching through my archives , This was a shot i took last year on a trip to Scotland , I had hope to go back last month but .... yes the weather was crappy again !
Sometimes i wonder if i have my very own crap weather system that follows me round lol ,
This is a 3 Raw Hdr, shot on yet another rainy day !! its a bit noisy at full size , think after shooting my Mamiya my 40d needs an upgrade to something with a few more pixels !!

Hope everyone had a good Easter :)

I don't think i can resist a lone tree shot lol , This was one i spotted by the roadside near to Wast water ,
There was a bird sat up there , some kind of hawk. but typically by the time my camera was out it had flew off :(

One of the many Glaciated rocks that can be found laying around the Cumbrian valleys .
This was one that can be found along the Honister pass .
I do find it fascinating to think that ice has moved these rocks , some are massive !
This one was prob six or seven feet hight and must easily weigh a tun or three :)

A trip to the lake district wouldn`t be complete without at least one jetty shot :)
this one is at the far end of Ullswater (or it could be the near end i guess depending on where you had come from !) its at the Glenridding end anyway !
it is hard this time of year to find one that doesn`t have some one doing some kind of water activity from or on it !
This one is within the grounds of a hotel called "The Inn On The Lake" it did say for patrons only but i went in anyway :)
There was a few nice subjects to photograph, this jetty was the obvious one but i also got a few bench shots :) i`ll post those another time :)

A shot from my recent Trip to the Lake District , Had mixed weather when i was there .
Was mostly rain mixed with low cloud :(
Not ideal conditions for photography really , but the sun did show up a few times :)

I decided to spend one morning looking around a small wood close to Buttermere .
Was hoping for some warm early morning light lighting up the greens and picking out the textures in the wood , Lukily the sun came out , although it might of been a bit harsher than id wanted i couldnt complain really after all the low cloud and rain id had !
There was lots to shoot in the woods , But seen as i was shooting film i chose my shots carefully . I liked the way the light was just lighting the fractured part of the branch that was laying on the floor :)
