BIRTHDAY EVE. (29/02/12)

Tomorrow I will be sixty two years old. Of course by the time you read this I sincerely hope I will be enjoying my sixty third year. I always date the titles of my posts. This has two purposes, the first enables both me and you  to keep track when I’m away from the internet. The second, a bonus really, is that every title is unique.

I moved from the east to the west yesterday, a horrible foggy day accompanied me from the Pennine watershed. Today is dull and grey but I had a wander around Blawith Fell. No good views but a few big  scenes…… on to the photographs.

    Blawith Fell. This will enlarge with a click and is the view from the van. It is a large stitched panorama 18k pixels wide on it’s long side. Don’t panic I compressed it.

There are lots of these little meres or ponds. They are wet, full of weed and a few yards across. There is little more to say about them.

The bottom of Coniston Water and the beginning of the wonderfully named River Crake. this is a hop skip and a jump from the van.

I crossed the road and climbed the hill onto the fell.

Coniston Water. If you look carefully you will see the camper just above my signature. The Old Man of Coniston is in the cloud on the far left. The green bit is Torver Back Common.

Coniston Water. The tiny mere in the first image is just above the road to the right of the image.

Bethecar Moor with Brock Barrow on the right and Coniston Water.

I had a good walk to celebrate the last day of my sixty second year. A bit murky was the weather but it did allow me free rein to play with the images.

I’ll get this posted as soon as possible, in the meantime enjoy yourselves.
