  1. Today’s Photo Hareshaw’s Sister. This was the first waterfall me and Lisabet came across when tracking the Hareshaw Burn river from Bellingham towards our ultimate destination: the Hareshaw Linn waterfall. I like the multi-directional aspect of this little waterfall, plus there were many interesting rocks around the waterfall and river to play with compositions! =) Today’s Photo Hareshaw’s Sister.

  2. Today’s Photo Mysterious Forest.It was fun, if creepy, to play around Fell Wood near the summit of Pendle Hill with Bamber. 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.

  3. Today’s Photo Wishing For Leaves.I’ve reached that point, I think, where I’m completely ready for Spring and Summer now, with lots of bushy trees and leafy vegetation everywhere. Are you ready for Summer?This is East Gills Falls in Keld, deep in the Swaledale valley of Yorkshire. When I saw that red tree stump, I knew there was a composition.Also, new post-processing method! Can you tell what I did?

  4. Today’s Photo Risking for Falls. It was an interesting experience trying to get this shot when exploring Keld with Lisabet and I’m sure other hikers nearby thought I was a little odd… This is East Gill Falls, one of four waterfalls around the tiny Yorkshire Dales village of Keld. See, the river and its shore runs right through the Swaledale valley and the river banks are really quite high. I spent a good 10-15 minutes calculating how to get down from the high river bank to the river shore to get an unobscured shot of this fall, prowling along the river edge like some hungry predator. I must’ve looked a little odd.  Found a route down though! =) Today’s Photo Risking for Falls.

  5. Today’s Photo Joy of Discovery. Hello! I am now all moved into the Lakes with my Lovely Lady Lisabet =) To celebrate, apart from making some kick-ass chilli, here’s a photo: this is shot from around the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lancashire. This brook streaming down from the fells was a wonderful little find after the disappointment of not being able to shoot Grizedale Lea with Bamber =) Enjoy your day/evening!

  6. Today’s Photo Lancaster Fall. Williamson Park in Lancaster, in the thick of autumn. =) This was definitely one of those moments where I wished my tripod could get lower to the ground. Need a better tripod… Interestingly, the name “Lancaster” simply means “the castle by the river Lune”. Probably Celtic in origin. Me and Lisabet once noted that the further north in England you get, the more you realise that places are named after descriptions of the area, whereas further south places tend to be named after people. Isn’t that interesting? =) Today’s Photo Lancaster Fall.

  7. Today’s Photo Centuries of Worship. Before me and Lisabet headed towards Haweswater, I had to check out this little church sitting pretty. This is St. Patrick’s Church, a stone’s throw away from where we stayed the previous night at the Crown & Mitre Inn in the tiny Lake District village of Bampton Grange. Though “only” built in 1726–27, nevertheless it stands on a site where that has been a place of worship for eight centuries. It was first mentioned in 1170, when it was attached to Shap Abbey, itself the last Abbey to be founded in England, and the last to be dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540. When I was saw this wonderfully twisted little tree by the grounds gate, and the line of clipped trees pointing towards the church, I had to get that composition. =) The early morning promised to be pretty clear, if bloody freezing; tantalisingly hinting at a delicious sunset later. However, by 10am, after our breakfast, a blanket of cloud covered the entire Haweswater area and the temperature dropped. Snow was on its way… Today’s Photo Centuries of Worship.

  9. Today’s Photo Devil’s BridgeThis is Devil’s Bridge in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria. There are, of course, many bridges throughout Europe referred to as “Devil’s Bridge” and curiously, they often share a similar legend, thus:Legend holds that the Devil appeared to an old woman, promising to build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross over it. When the bridge was finished, the woman threw bread over the bridge and her dog chased after it, thereby outwitting the Devil.Because, obviously, animals have no soul… =/In any case, not only does this ancient bridge, made around 1370AD, sport beautifully constructed arches of gritstone ashlar, but the river bed around has these wonderful sloping rocks, covered in moss and other plant life. This makes for good compositions and playing around. =)This bridge is well-known in Britain for two other reasons: first, because it’s a popular meeting point for Britain’s bikers and, second, because of the mobile hot food van, Devil’s Bridge Butty Bar, which has been featured on various TV programmes! Me and Lisabet enjoyed a delicious burger from it. =) Today’s Photo Devil’s BridgeThis is Devil’s Bridge in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.
