Skelwith Fold

Published by ian under Nature

Just spent yet another few days in the Lake District, just relaxing and walking - this time in Skelwith Fold near Ambleside. The weather was excellent with good light for photography.
Take a look at some pictures taken late one evening. The pictures have not been manipulated. I used a polarizing filter to great effect - the sun was exactly at 90 degrees to each picture resulting in the saturated colours.

Frying Tonight

Published by ian under Nature

Just spent a few days at Drigg in the lake district.
Drigg is a very small village near Seascale. 90% of the country’s low level nuclear waste in stored (some 990,000 cubic meters worth).

Drigg and the surrounding area offer the photographer a wealth of opportunity to capture some of the lake district’s little known beauty.
