Running out. I really need to get out and take more pictures.

Looking back

Just a quick phone shot on the way to the pub,...
...on a day where I didn't want to carry a camera :-)

Old but good.
That's a really long allée. Love those long tall trees and the curvy road and fog adds more interest.

Off the Beaten Track

More exploring the new local hills, we took a short hike around Cartmel Fell, and came across this beautiful old barn/farmhouse.

They must have had a grand view from the upper windows. In the distance you can make out part of the Kent estuary and the double hump of Arnside Knot.

In the adjoining field were a couple of ancient damson trees, damsons being a traditional local crop.

And nearby were these friendly creatures, Belted Galloway cattle ('Belties'), a shot of nostalgia for our old place in Galloway 😊

This is gorgeous. The desaturated colours from the mist work really well.

I have been very busy since returning from my five-week and two-day trip that put 6,500 miles on my car. I visited 13 states in the Southeast and Midwest USA. I have had very little time to process the photos I took. Who knew that retirement could be so hectic?!

This past Tuesday, I went on an overnight camping trip with two friends from my camera club. We planned to shoot meteors far away from the city. The weather did not cooperate. We had clouds due to a persistent storm. The storm provided me with an opportunity to do something I've never done before.

I am interested in your thoughts on the color tone of these images...

I love how this image highlights the fog in the background by not having any in the foreground.

Very nice photo. Was this a prank? What pub were you headed to in this type of country?

Calais

We stayed overnight near Calais, before taking an early morning shuttle to Folkstone. The beach near the Tunnel is a strange sort of place with its sea defences.

I like the shot with the cool tree the best of these.

Some really nice shots here. Others may disagree but I think the second shot (first in my quote) would be better without the people.

I like the last two best due to the golden light.

I can't comment from an experienced point of view, but the fact you have some colour is good for me. Nice tones that I would associate with ozone.

Lightning is another aspect of nature I would like to explore with a camera.

Very pretty. Be careful of that slope on the way back from the pub.

I'm a sucker for a deserted building so loved these.
Damsons are prominent down here atm, pavements covered in them.

Hey Flo, the last one doesn't seem quite as sharp as the first two.
I don't mind either tone, both look believable to my eye because lightning can demonstrate some varying colours.

No1 (great, clean light) with the abstract no3 and excellent no4 are my picks from and outstanding set.
