Wimpole Farm

Finally getting around to tackling the massive backlog from last year. Here are some taken at Wimpole Farm on a very early November morning. I've been having fun with Colour Efex, but still learning my way around a bit. More to come soon hopefully...

 

 

Derwent Moor

I've finally got round to editing the last few pictures from our trip out to Derwent Moor a few weeks ago.

I can't decide whether I prefer this photo in colour or black and white:

 Spot the dragon....

A Snowy Christmas

Christmas back home was lovely, snow in the countryside is much nicer than snow in the city. These pictures are a small sample of those I took over the holiday, from assorted locations. Hopefully more to come when I don't have to worry about exams so much...

Marsden Moor Panorama

This is the panorama taken at Dinner's Stone on the Pennine Way on Marsden moor. Definitely best viewed enlarged rather than on this little screen. Just click on the photo to see a bigger version...

Marsden Moor - Part 3

And here is part 3 of our Marsden moor trip. The whole of this trip was brought to you by those two hiking staples: Minstrels and Jamaica Cake

There's just one final thing to come from the Marsden trip. At Dinner's Stone on the Pennine Way about half way through the walk, there was a beautiful panoramic view of the moor and a village and fields in the valley below. So a photostitch was called for, and will be put up in the next post.

Marsden Moor - Part 2

This is the second part of the Marsden moor photographs from Saturday. I forgot to mention in the last post that the walk we followed (minus the odd short-cut through cow fields and over Pule Hill) can be found at: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-marsden_moor-walk.pdf

Now, on with photos...

More coming in Part 3 soon...

Marsden Moor - Part 1

Christopher and I, being countryside people born and bred, started getting withdrawal symptoms living in Manchester. We found on the National Trust website details of a 'Heritage Trail' walk around Marsden moor and, taking and gamble on the weather forecast, decided to go exploring. As it turned out, it was a perfect day with beautiful, crisp sunshine.

We had a lovely walk, which I thoroughly recommend to anyone in the area with walking boots and a day to kill, and got some lovely photographs. Sadly, and I've already mentioned in a previous post, the winding mechanism on my film camera seems to be malfunctioning, so most of the film photos taken haven't come out, but I had my digital camera with me too, so still managed to make the most of the lovely sunshine. Disaster very nearly struck when I fell in a bog up to my thighs, but thankfully I managed to save the cameras. The photographs are going to be put up in over a few posts, of which this is the first.

 And then the Pennine Way gave way beneath me...
