pfm Picture A Week (PAW) 2023

[Lefty]

Had a fantastic few days with my son in The Lake Distrivct this week. The focus was on spending some quality time together, so the camera only came out when we stopped for a break. That said, we enjoyed some wonderful conditions (including a clooud inversion whilst up on Blencathra!) so I'm looking forward to processing what little I did manage to snap during my time there.

This first image was taken on the slopes of Blencathra, looking over towards Derwentwater. You can see the lake and Keswick but what makes the image (IMHO) are the peaks of the Newlands Valley, including the iconic Catbells with its distinctive camel humps.

There's a nice painting-like quality to that.

One from the archives: problems on site; i.e. a hole, where a hole should not be.

A couple from Bury (Bolton Street) on the East Lancs Railway - both X100F - and before anyone says (again) that I shouldn't be playing on railway tracks, these were taken on an accompanied (permission) visit

Needless to say, I love those, David. Proper mainline signal gantries too. Wonderful.

Smashing. I took my first photograph from that spot in 1984, my second in 2019.

Signal Gantry came from Blackburn and was made to fit!!

...and here's one taken up on the Blencathra summit plateau. We were incredibly lucky to witness this cloud inversion. My son couldn't stop smiling as he kpet remarking that he couldn't believe we were 'above the clouds'

Edit: decided to go for a wider crop, including the bit of land on the lower left and hint of peaks poking above the cloud line on the upper right horizon. I think this gives a better representation of what it felt like to be standing there.

Had a nice night last night in Lincoln Cathedral, a light and sound show, quite ethereal at times:

That first one is a bit 'gosh!', John.

Thank you ! It's very PP'd but I was trying to remember how it looked when I was there, and, finally i think getting to understand the D850, so, thanks
