So very sad to hear of the death of Chris Rea earlier today. He released some great songs and albums over the years. I only saw him the once back in about 1978 when he supported Lindisfarne....showing my age now but it was really good night!!! Just listening & singing along to his greatest hits now.

"The Abyss" Most definitely not everyone's cup of tea!

clearing low cloud over Cartmel

Weathered, but not defeated

reach out, catch and hold that light

Today it's raining again....yesterday it didn't and the sun came out, lighting the early low lying mist

as we turned a corner, the forest burst into life

A great walk this morning on the edge of the Lakes. Wonderful to see the lingering mist in the valley below us. It hasn't rained all day today!

3 rocks, 3 sheep & a tree A dry walk up Hampsfell yesterday after a quick check of the weather radar, which showed a gap in the rain!

Ingleborough Late afternoon sun illuminating the iconic Yorkshire hill with cloud momentarily thinning around the summit. Always wonderful to walk back across the many limestone pavements and outcrops.....unusually there were no people and no sheep! #ShareMondays2025

Great to get back into the Dales again yesterday and a wander up and over Ingleboro'. Typically draughty & murky on top but we did get some wonderful light on the way up and the walk back underneath, across the wonderful limestone plateau.

"a last performance" One of the many fascinating clumps of birches on Whitbarrow. Many are spindly but all seem to have beautifully white bark; no doubt washed by the constant battering of wind and rain coming across Morecambe Bay & off the Irish Sea. #birch #omsystems #blackandwhite

A heartfelt update on Spiorad Àird nam Murchan. Why part 21 is paused..... and why the spirit of this work remains unbroken. Read → www.rkphotographic.com/blog/2025/12... #ArdnamurchanSpirit #CreativeProcess #ElementalSeries #SlowArt #PlaceAndBelonging #HeartfeltThanks #TrollsNotWinning

wonderful light earlier up on Whitbarrow; the low sun illuminating the magnicent birches up there.

a beautiful late winter morning along the Wee Mad Road with the sun illuminating the fantastic birches of Assynt.

Happiness is......

a bit of gold on a dreary dismal morning

Same but different.....same piece of ice from recent upload but from different side and underexposed.

an old one from the rugged limestone above the Watlowes dry valley at Malham.....many, many walks around here over the last 30 odd years. #Malham #Limestone

Just going throgh some old images taken in the garden with the 105 macro lens.....this fuchsia was a lovely subject close up. #garden #flowers #bloomscrolling #fuchsia

not quite as exotic as it looks......one of a number of small pieces of ice remaining in a large circular plastic cattle drinking trough. Still, it's quite attractive if you use your imagination! Who needs Iceland?🙃☺️

a wander along the canal this morning with strong low sunlight creating wonderful dark shadow areas and strong highlights....so much beauty in decay. #ShareMondays2025

edgelands

an old one from the Dales......not a lot that's sharp, in fact it's all blurry, but does it matter? Probably not one for a camera club judge!

all that remains

#ShareMondays2025 As much as I dislike drones, I love the images that you can capture with them. If I had one, this is all I'd use it for. River deltas/estuaries are so fascinating when viewed from above; like here from this week's winner @sophiecarr.bsky.social Congratulations Sophie, stunning!

#ShareMondays2025 Another great week of very strong images of various types & subjects. My top 4 has changed frequently this last few hours. But these are the ones I settled on.......winner later!! @iceniphoto.bsky.social @sophiecarr.bsky.social @markhether18.bsky.social @z70photo.bsky.social

Upper Kentmere

Upper Kentmere Valley illuminated by some strong autumnal side light yesterday.....what a fantastic few hours back on the fells.

some lovely diffused light catching the old reeds yesterday morning, as walked around the local nature reserve.....I like lines!
