Sunset Copse.

I have been over to Cumbria today quite a nice day over there but cold, I took this on the way home when I was chasing the light. I could see there might be a good sunset and it was brilliant. Could be one of my  favorites, you cannot beat a sunset I might even design a calendar full of them.

Pit Heap New Wooden Signpost.

Took Bailey out this afternoon onto the pit heap and noticed the new carved wooden sign to mark the woodland path. This is a lovely work of art showing a miner at the bottom and some ferns and mushrooms in the middle finished off at the top with a squirrel and a bird. There is also another different marker at the other path onto the heap which is just as pretty but not as ornate.

Windermere Sunset.

Took a little detour on the way home tonight as the sky looked promising. I called into Ambleside and took this just as the sun was going down. Captured this young couple near the lakes edge I think they addd extra interest to the photo. Lovely and quiet there for a change, not a tourist insight. Well worth the detour.

Marching Pylons at High Noon.

I have been busy editing today, printing and binding more calendars. I had to go out so took this photo near Stockton, I have seen the scene many times but today I loved the way the clouds were like cotton wool and the high contrast silhouette the pylons make and in the sun, I darkened the sky and turned it black and white for a more dramatic photo.

We will remember them"
