MIXED FORTUNES (20/12/10)

It’s another absolutely brilliant day. We went out to tax the camper and then I intended walking up Latrigg or maybe the shoulder of Skiddaw , I believe it’s called Little Man, for some views looking up Derwentwater. By the time I had finished messing around in the Post Office the sun was too high so I’ll leave that till tomorrow.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA   Skiddaw on the left and Blencathra on the right. Barely a cloud in the sky.

I decided to go and have a look at St John’s Church.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASo far so good……I had to tilt the camera to fit it in……it’s not really The Leaning Church of Keswick.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA     Things started to go rapidly downhill……..the camera refused to focus. When I sorted it out I found the lens had misted up……….Then I whacked the ISO up and managed to half salvage a couple of shots.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          What a fiasco………I need to go back with a tripod and a flashgun…………..Preferably on a cloudy day……..A smashing church with an unusual ceiling.

I decided to wander back by way of the Lakeside and feed the ducks and give the dogs a good run in Crow Park.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAMy favourite outdoor shop…..I’ve yet to pluck up the courage to go in……………..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA    Keswick Cinema…………….An incongruous choice of building material.  I quite like the building nineteen thirties I would guess.

We got down to the lake and shared it with a party of Chinese girls who delighted in making a big fuss of the dogs……………I’m hoping they were Chinese and not Korean……I’ll keep and eye on the dogs.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA      Two of them who appear to have got their clothes mixed up………..They either packed in a rush or were late getting up.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA     A not quite misty enough view up the lake. It doesn’t look it but it is a touch warmer today.

I will get out again later and see if things improve.

All the best.
