  1. Today’s Photo Edge of Kielder. You can get an impression of just how massive these Kielder Forest pines are when juxtaposed with the tiny figure of my Lovely Lady. =) Part way around Kielder Water, the Lakeshore Path drops off with these wonderful craggy rocks, offering perfect views of the water and the landscape beyond. =) You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here.

  3. Today’s Photo Guardian Trees. The impressively tall pines of Kielder Forest that surround Kielder Water dominate your eyes and demand your look up and admire their towering protectiveness. =) My first photo processed after completely devouring Trey Ratcliff’s New Zealand Landscape Photography Tutorial videos. I am really enjoying the result. =) Today’s Photo Guardian Trees.

  4. Today’s Photo Admiring the Work of Man. Enjoy this view of the entirely man-made Kielder Water, with Kielder Forest surrounding it, the thick and rolling clouds following me and Lisabet all around the Lakeshore Path. =) Kielder Water was originally developed as a reservoir, to give adequate supply to a predicted greater demand for water during the 1960s as a result of the expect heavy industry boom. The boom never happened, though. It’s main purpose now is as a tourist attraction. It is the largest reservoir in the UK according to capacity. Today’s Photo Admiring the Work of Man.

  5. Today’s Photo Be Humbled. Looking towards the Lakeshore Path of Kielder Water, surrounded by the super-tall Lodgepole Pines of Kielder Forest… Me and Lisabet decided to head here on our final day exploring what Northumberland had to offer. Kielder Water and Forest is rather nice, the lake is much more wide open compared to what we’re used to in the Lake District, but the man-made Kielder Forest (the largest man-made woodland of its kind in Britain) is impressive, with tall pines dominating the trail and skyline. There’s something humbling about being surrounded by such larger-than-life trees. =) Today’s Photo Be Humbled.

This scene, in particular, opened itself to me; a shining light piercing the canopy of the forest and illuminating this broken tree stump… Today’s Photo Mysterious Forest.It was fun, if creepy, to play around Fell Wood near the summit of Pendle Hill with Bamber.

  7. Borrowdale’s Reward. Today, I hiked for three hours, travelling 8.9 miles and climbing 1,312ft high. On my own. With camera gear and a tripod.  My feet are pulsing. You lot had better bloody like the crap out of these photos! =D The aim of hiking all the way out here from where I live, of course, was to shoot this incredible valley: this is Lower Borrowdale sometimes referred to as Westmorland Borrowdale to distinguish it’s name from the more famous one in the old county of Cumberland. “Borrowdale” simply means dale of the (Roman) fort. Borrow Beck streams down from the mountains behind where I was stood for this shot and winds through this wild and unspoilt valley as Crookdale Beck. Thankfully, I managed to time my hike just right, even with stops along the way, as when I arrived this view opened up and the sun was about to set, casting delicious pinks and purples everywhere. =) Borrowdale’s Reward.

  8. Today’s Photo Home Away From Home.Welcome to the town of Kendal in the Lake District, Cumbria!In ye auld times long gone, Kendal used to be known as Kirkby in Kendal orKirky Kendal (you don’t pronounce the middle k in “Kirkby”). The name “Kendal” is, of course, a contraction of “Kent Dale”” combined with “Kirkby” this gives a meaning of “village with a church in the valley of the River Kent”.Kendal is often referred to as the Gateway to the Lakes and it’s easy to see why, given it’s geographical precision between the North of Lancashire, the West of Yorkshire and the South of Cumbria.To me, any town with a view like this, surrounded by the distant mountains of the Lake District, is a place I wanna be in.

  9. Today’s Photo The Creation Of A Thousand Forests Is In One Acorn. Moving away from the Visitor Village at Brockholes Nature Reserve, me and Shad decided to explore the surrounding area a little more. We were so focussed on the village and how the sun was setting that we totally forgot to look behind… And saw these friggin’ epic clouds building up. We climbed up to this little picnic area that held a nice view of the floating village, but I was too busy composing this shot with these delightful giant wooden acorns, set against the fiery sky building up. I relearned a key lesson: if you’re shooting a sunset, don’t forget to look behind you every now and then. Good tip? Today’s Photo The Creation Of A Thousand Forests Is In One Acorn.
