I think with it being such a beautiful day for a change on Tuesday last, we just took far more photographs than normal.
We had decided to make the most of the sun-shine and head for Cumbria two places of great interest in particular, Wrynose Pass and Hardknott Pass. We knew the same would be very poor to photograph in bad conditions, most of the same would be covered in heavy mist and cloud even. So this was a consideration as being the last possible chance of the year. We know if the winter weather was to set in hard and fast the Passes would be impossible to cross and could well be closed in any event.
There's some really beautiful countryside to drive through on the way to these two passes as well.
I know I have said it before, but to really get the very best out of these types of photograph they need transferring to your Photograph Manager and viewing full screen.
Some of the colours with the approach of autumn are already quite spectacular here and there. The houses tucked away in the hills and mountains also look spectacular.
The dry stone walls in places reach to the summits of some of these mountains as well.
If I get the opportunity in winter to spend a few days up here with Flobo, I will do and put some shots of these areas covered in snow on the thread.
It looks quite spectacular up here in the depths of winter.
It's several years too since we spent a winter in The UK. Should make a really nice change thinking about it.
Isn't that absolutely fantastic.
There was a nice steak offer on too at one of the local pubs.
It was a nice looking place as well.
The 'Traveller's Rest' at Grasmere.
The above small selection of photographs are from The Internet.
The large ones are all mine and Flobo's.
