I was hoping for some reflections in the lake but frustratingly* it was all ruffled! I found these rocks to cover the spot where the reflections would be! * / I say frustratingly because there was not a breath of wind and it was very misty. Not at all like the weather forecast the night before! I’d set off from home at 4.30am arriving at Wasdale at 7.30am just as the sun rose! I then left to meet up with Alan (Tall Guy) near Loweswater.

Clark Gable – “Gone with the wind”
This looking up thru the narrow gap between roofs of my house & my garage which are heavily laden with snow. The snow is about a foot deep at this spot on the roofs. No adjustment were made to this photo. As is from my camera! MY BUBBLESITE

The House of Seven Gables made legendary by American writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Visiting this place in winter means that you get practically a personal tour (three people plus the guide). The house is really cool and you learn quite a mixed bag. It looked nothing like this in Hawthorne’s time. It was completely remodeled and changed over the years. He wrote about it based on memories of a cousin who lived there. Around a 100 years ago, the house was nearly demolished but saved by woman who used it as a museum to raise money for charity. She had the house remodeled back to a romanticized (i.e. not entirely accurate) version of its colonial appearance.

Wastwater is the deepest lake in England. Here it is viewed from the magnificent vantage point of Great Gable
The Strip / Sin City / Las Vegas, Nevada These were some of the last images from my first digital camera – not long after this I dropped it one too many times on the floor of the Bellaggio, the guards told me I wasn’t allowed to sit in the atrium with all of the flowers – I was just tring to get a good shot.
A look back to where we had been… Starting from Honister Pass slate mine, up and across to Green Gable. Up and over Green Gable, down to Windy Gap and then up and over Great Gable and back along Moses Trod, where this shot was taken from. I felt I should post this shot, it’s not the best, but gives a good idea of our hike… THE LAKE DISTRICT / National Park, Cumbria, UK.
On top of the world well almost Great Gable in the Lake District National Park. A fantastic view of Wasdale with Wast Water beyond that. The haze just stopping you see the Irish Sea.
A stormy sky above Borrowdale frames the view from Castle Crag to Great Gable in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England.
Another of my little photography fetishes, is taking images of the art work found at temples.

A detail from the Romanesque church Peter-and-Paul (Saint-Pierre-et-Paul) in Rosheim (Alsace, France). This sculpture (which goes on around the corner) depicts a knight saving his compatriot from a dragon. In full view you can see the sword stabbing into the dragon’s maw. The church has been constructed in the 12th century (start of construction 1150) with the addition of a tower in the 14th century. The church’s organ was built in 1733 by Andreas Silbermann, an important organ builder of the Baroque period in the region.
Some gables in Amsterdam, taking during a wonderful October walk along the canals. I especially love that third gable on the right, with its clear association with the important nautical past of Amsterdam. History is clearly present here.

Built in 1924, water pressure was provided by a water tower in what was then an isolated area of Coral Gables. It remained operational until the 1950’s when the water supply was modernized. The water tower was styled as a moorish lighthouse. It had a sundial on its south face.
