Deep into autumn

The road to enlightenment.....!

"Primeval" #ShareMondays2025 Kentmere Valley catching some of the last light at weekend

"Stripped bare" dropping down into the Kentmere Valley at Stile End, with some beautiful fleeting light catching the branches and foreground.

"Flight" ....one step too far as always!! #ShareMondays2025

A590 underpass nr Foulshaw Moss.....a great place to shelter from the passing shower

Nothing to see in the sea at Bardsea

Flight an incredibly bright morning on the top side of #MorecambeBay at Bardsea.....then the clouds rolled in and it was transformed back to dull mud

magnificent birches up on Rusland Heights.....stunning colours in the strong but very intermittent light......very wet underfoot too!

#sharemondays2025 This is my selection for winning image this week. It was a close run thing as ever, but I feel it has everything I like in an image. Great work Mark, well done 👍

#ShareMondays2025 I've been drawn to vibrant scenes and colours this week. As always a difficult choice to narrow down to four, but here they are for this week. @supergios.bsky.social @graemetaplin.bsky.social @markhether18.bsky.social @z70photo.bsky.social Winner later 😊

Yarlside from Gt Asby Scar a chilly but beautiful 12 mile walk just north of the Howgills from Sunbiggin Tarn to Gt Asby and back across the magnificent limestone plateau of Gt Asby Scar National Nature Reserve. Amazing long distance views all day, with vibrant autumnal colours. Good for the soul 😊

A complete cliche, but who cares?! Whilst you're there you might as well! #LangdalePikes

"Out of the blue" A short walk in the Lakes this morning from Yew Tree Tarn up Holme Fell and round to Tarn Hows. We bumped into @malidaviesphoto.bsky.social as he was running a workshop down at the tarn. This was near the top of Holme Fell. Amazing autumn colours in the Lakes at the moment.

The Shining #MorecambeBay from Hampsfell....a day of promised showers failed to deliver to us

An afternoon wander through the allotment. Autumn is really taking hold inside the polytunnel. #ShareMondays2025 #dahlia

"Jagged" a memorable morning walk up the Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail a few years ago. The cloud soon descended blocking out any further shadows. It's only a short walk but it gets you into the hills.

A tree called Maree it's given us a lot of pleasure over the last few visits. I hope it survives another Scottish winter
