You have to ask why I titled it magic circle, I don’t think I took one shot of the whole stone circle. Sunset or sunrise is what adds the magic.. if only I could manage to get up early enough to capture the sunrises. / Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick in the Lake District National Park. Taken with a Canon 350D. hdr from three raw files. / The Extract below was taken from Wikipedia… Wilkipedia “The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6m (107ft) at its widest and 29.5m (97ft) at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. There is a 3.3m wide gap in its northern edge, which may have been an entrance. Within the circle, abutting its eastern quadrant, is a roughly rectangular setting of a further 10 stones. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze-Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and possibly Europe, too. It is important to archaeoastronomers who have noted that the sunrise during the Autumn equinox appears over the top of Threlkeld Knott, a hill 3.5km to the east. Some stones in the circle have been aligned with the midwinter sunrise and various lunar positions.” MY OLD STANDING STONES SET

A follow up to my earlier image of Brothers water in English The Lake District. This time I zoomed in a bit from my previous wide-angled view to get a bit more detail on the hills and composed with the water line midway to take advantage of the beautiful early morning reflections.

I am sure I don’t need to tell you who Beatrix Potter was, her love of the Lake District and nature is World famous. Though she is known to have lived at Hilltop Farm near Ambleside for much of her life, she owned many properties and farms in the area and on her death she left them to the National Trust so that the natural beauty of the area could be enjoyed for all time. There was over 4000 acres in her estate. This was one of her houses on Belle Isle on Windermere, in the large grounds she planted every species of tree that was native to the United Kingdom, it looks so beautiful from my viewpoint on a lake leisure steamer.

I decided to try a bit of creative framing when I took this shot last Summer in the English Lake District. Taken from inside the ancient banqueting hall in Bankhouse on the Southern side of Ullswater looking down to Howtown and the lake and using the ornate ancient window of the hall to create a natural frame. Just a little wide-angle perspective straightening and USM, otherwise straight off camera, I’d be most interested to know your opinion of the idea.

Shot last year at Buttermere in the English lake district national park. / The small picturesque Church of St James is situated above the village of Buttermere at the junction of Honister and Newlands passes. The original chapel was consecrated in 1507, while the present building dates from 1840, and was restored in 1930. A special feature is the wrought iron ‘Shepherd’s Gate’, at the entry to the porch. There is an antique organ, dated 1820. The East window by Henry Holiday, dated 1893, has Mary, Martha and a cherub head. Wordsworth said ‘A man must be very unsensible who would not be touched at the sight of the chapel of Buttermere’. There is a stone tablet set into the window sill of a south window as a memorial to Alfred Wainwright, the famous walker and author of guidebooks. The window looks out on his favourite place to walk, Haystacks, where at his wish his ashes were scattered. / Shot with a Nikon D70s and 18-70mm lens / 1 shot Raw tonemapped and tidied up in photoshop. /

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 1/25 second, ISO100, tweaked in Photoshop I went for a walk up Scaffel Pike (England’s highest mountain at 978 metres (3,209 ft)) yesterday with some friends, the weather was very kind to us, more of which later. This is a view of Wastwater which was voted Britain’s greatest view on a TV show a few years ago. Wastwater is 3 miles long, half a mile wide and 260 feet deep, and the deepest of all the lakes. Wastwater is surrounded by several huge mountains which includes Red Pike, Kirk Fell, Great Gable and Scafell Pike. Please view large

Please View Large This was one of the very first images I took with my DSLR some 3 years ago, and I always go back to it. Small sprinkling of snow on the hills and the colours on the fells are stunning. Featured in – Human Animal Nature – 12th November 2009 Nikon D200 / Sigma 24-70mm
Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 1/100 second, ISO100, processed in Photoshop After my hike up Blencathra last Friday my journey home took me back down past the wonderfully beautiful Ullswater, I had to stop and take a few shots. Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District, being approximately nine miles (14.5 kilometres) long and 0.75 miles (1,200 m) wide with a maximum depth of slightly more than 60 metres (197 ft).

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 1.3 seconds, ISO100, processed in Photoshop As mentioned in my previous Brotherswater shot it was a dark gloomy day during our walk in this wonderful location last weekend. Just as night began to fall the skies cleared, the wind dropped and so did the temperature. Thank goodness for the wonderful Brotherswater Inn nearby which had a log fire and the pint of real ale I was forced to drink!! A good day out I would say!! Please view large
