Wastwater is the deepest lake in England. Here it is viewed from the magnificent vantage point of Great Gable
/
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Another of my little photography fetishes, is taking images of the art work found at temples.
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
