High in Cumbria, Writer’s Cottage (near Alston) was a wonderful place not to ‘stand and stare’ (sorry, W H Davies, below), but simply to ‘sit and stare’. The changes in light, with time of day and variations in cloud cover, was amazing. I have a series of photographs I must put into a collage to show this. What is this life, if full of care, / We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs / And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, / Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, / Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, / And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can / Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this, if full of care, / We have not time to stand and stare. Featured in Art North West, July 2009. Fetaured in Cumbri…Outside The Park Group, August 2009.

Happened upon a road near our previous home. I had to jump out of the car to capture the carpet of leaves. The bonus was the tree framing the imaging naturally. Carlisle, Cumbria
I looked up to the heavy snow laden skies. The bare naked fingers extended towards each other in the cold…. like veins reaching for their life blood. Stanwix, Carlisle, CUmbria. Taken on edge of Bitts Park.

Shot from behind St Mary’s church in the beautiful village of Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria, England….Turner (1775-1851) painted the River Lune, now called ‘Ruskin’s View’. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a lover of Turner’s work, influential English critic, social theorist, painter and poet, was so impressed by the picture, that he was inspired to write ‘I do not know in all my own country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine’. / All info from the Visit Cumbria website. / Shot with a Nikon D300 and 18-70mm lens. / f16 / 1/15 sec / ISO 400 /

This steam train came through my village, which is on the glorious Settle to Carlisle line.
Formed from the amalgamation of the former counties of Westmorland and Cumberland, a bit of North Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire over the sands”, England’s second biggest county is famous for the Lake District National Park (LDNP), which has its own group, but there is so much more, from the waters of Morecambe Bay around Arnside to Barrow-in-Furness, the estuaries of the rivers Kent, Leven and Duddon,the more populated west coast and the ports of Workington and Silloth, the harbours and history of Maryport and Whitehaven, the bird cliffs of St Bees, the Solway coast, Carlisle, parts of Hadrians Wall, Alston (the highest market town in England),the beautiful Eden Valley and the dales town of Sedbergh and parts of the Howgill Fells, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Kendal and so much more…this area outside the LDNP deserves its own recognition.
