2021 Octoberfest - warth man - D500 + 135mmf2DC - Day 31

[Dexbana]

Beautiful scene and well captured given the hazy atmosphere. Cloudy sky background is really nice.

Gorgeous!

Thanks Tim.

I love how there is nothing but clouds beyond the valley. The Earth may indeed be flat

It's a cliff...

Actually, just beyond that crest lies the Kirkstone Inn. Good beer stop. For sale at the moment for around £1.5m.

That's dramatic and moody with a great composition, Ron.

Thanks Eric. Lucky with the sky. It kept varying between totally overcast and similar to what you see here and sometimes to just light cloud. That's the Lakes!

Wow, what a gorgeous, stunning scene! You really do live in a beautiful, beautiful area. You picked the perfect vantage spot from which to shoot this, too.

Thank you Connie. This is about 30 miles from home.

Very scenic pass. You had a dramatic sky too.

Thanks Paul. The sky was changing constantly, so quite a nice day for pics like these.

Thank you Paul. It's not often that you get really clear conditions here but it doesn't really detract from the beauty of the place. Not for me anyway.

Day 11. Took a drive into the lakes for the first time in a while. Been too long. This is Kirkstone Pass, looking south from alongside Brother's Water. The prominent lump of rock just off to the right from the top of the road is the Kirk Stone, so-called because it looks a little like a church from a distance.

Thanks West. Good Outback country!

Really like the shrooms, but that pass shot is the bomb!

Thanks Wade. Still waiting for ID on the fungus. I didn't eat any more!

For those who are interested, I have an ID for my fungus from Wild Food UK. It is a leccinum, a type of bolete, and almost certainly the brown birch bolete as the patch is growing under a birch tree. In the UK apparently all leccinums are edible and their recommendation is that this one should be cooked, rather than taken raw e.g. in a salad. So I'll be tucking into one at the next suitable meal. Slowly.

Oooh,
I like to see the big waterfall at the edge...

That's a beautiful valley, nicely framed.

Day 111 - Lovely view. Would love to visit the Lake District someday. Dramatic scenery well captured, again!

Thanks Jim. It's a place I keep returning to, I have to say.

Thanks John. It will be here when you're ready. Can get busy though.

Odd one today. Didn't get much chance to shoot anything but found this, just for something different - a neighbour's head! Well, it belongs to him and he has now displayed it on his wall, perhaps to cheer us all up. It appears to be a single piece of stone that someone has sculpted. I should also add that both father and son at this house are stone masons, so there's every chance it came from somewhere they were working.

Now *that's* something one doesn't see everyday! Well, perhaps except for you! I'm still chuckling over this one . . .

Just in time for Halloween (if you guys celebrate it there)! Pretty cool looking. Nice find!

Anyone know a good dental surgeon? What an unusual subject, but such a fun one!

Jim's shots encouraged me to give fungi a try

A very worthy effort. Your composition conveys the context, and therefore the size very nicely.

Such great depth in this image. It looks like a grand drive.

Yikes! I only made it to this point of the description before the image scrolled onto my screen.
