Dry Stone Wall A somewhat well weathered section of dry stone wall that took my eye.....simple random patterns. No cement or mortar and these walls last longer than modern houses!

Last of the Summer Blooms A still beautiful but fading foxglove on route to High Sweden Bridge. A couple of months ago this would have been one of thousands along the road side each with dozens of vivid blooms. A definite sign that summer is coming to a close.

Ambleside Market Cross Known as the Market Square, although the market for what it is, is held in a car park at the other end of the village. Saturday 8-9-12 a very odd day. Very warm and sunny but incredibly hazy hence no real shadows.

Security a year on. Saturday 8-9-12 18.30pm (ish) Similar shot to one I took a year or so ago and I'll swear the latch has not moved an inch. Very basic conversion from the RAW file and then just let the early evening sun do its bit. This picture appears in the following picture tour: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS 500D |
Rainbow over Ambleside Tuesday 11-9-12 wet and dry at amazingly short regular intervals!!! Waterproof jacket was on and off every 20 minutes for a couple of hours then stayed on for several hours!!!

Ambleside Lake Cruise Friday 14-9-12 was a very wet day but I had to get out so took the boat down to Bowness and on to Lakeside followed by the train to Haverthwaite spent an hour there and returned. A few minutes after the steamer Teal had left Lakeside for Bowness this rainbow appeared very faint then brightened only for a couple of seconds.....magical! Pays to be ready even in the wet.....other folk missed it 'cos their cameras were cosseted in bags and things.....
