A pot pourri of imagery

As the name suggests this page brings you a flavour of something different. Slightly esoteric; a little mysterious; photographs out of the ordinary. We hope that you enjoy them.

St Annes Sands

Fairhaven Chiascuro (#082):

The sun was blazing down onto the textured beach when we walked from Lytham St Annes - the reflection and the shadows were perfect for the monochrome treatment. Especially the distant figures paddling (August 2015).

Code: CA, CE, CF, PD, PG, PJ, PL, PO.

Langdale Village Lines (#241):

The 'pen and ink' effect on this image perfectly outlined the mystical beauty of this little village in the Langdale valley. We have fond memories of meeting the newly born lambs and paddling in the river (July 2015).

Code: CA, CE,CF, PD, PG, PJ, PL, PO.

In No Hurry (#255):

A meandering journey along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal (July 2017).

Code: CD, PA, PE.

Dancing Dryad (#206):

The clouds parted during a ramble over a grey Longridge Fell to shine upon this pale barked 'Yggsdrasil', this dancing Dryad shone strongly amongst the woodland - screaming to be snapped (May 2014).

Code: CF, PC, PD, PH, PG, PJ, PL.

Tomb Gates (#063):

I loved the ethereal nature of the leafy canopy above the tomb: The broken fencing and the ghostly, if not spiritual, foliage above gives a dramatic image.

Code: CA, CE, CF, PD, PG, PJ, PL, PO.

Grizedale Mirkwood (#037):

Caught early before the sunrise; behind me the mists weaved their way through these pines - along one of the popular Grizedale walks. Captured in sepia, the darkness and blurred lines add to the picture's mystery (November 2015).

Code: CA, CE, CF, PD, PG, PJ, PL.

Homeward Bound(#254):

I wasn't the only one heading back during this shot in mid-Wales (August 2017). The Duck's wing beats could be heard well before she came into sight - long enough for a few snaps, but then off into the distance.

Code: CL, PO, PP.

Hawkshead Hill Sunset (#039):

A beautiful sunset on the crest of the hill just up from the central Cumbrian village of Hawkshead (July 2014). Although the crepuscular colours were not unpleasant, I was struck by the contrasting light (emphasised here) as the sun dipped below the horizon (conjuring all manner of magical emotions).

Code: CA, CE, CF, PD, PG, PJ, PL, PO.

Crow Shadow (#127):

Such a dominant silhouette of this highly intelligent bird. I was lucky to have the wonderful natural diamond frame. One of my favourite images (October 2014).

Code: CA, CE, CF, PD, PG, PJ, PL, PO.

Backlit Autumn Leaves

Autumnal Leaves at Rydal Mount (#012). h3 class="auto-style17">With the leaves just turning from their summer green to an autumn gold (and every colour in between) - this branch shone like an illuminated stain glass window (August 2015).

Code: CB, CG, PB, PF, PI, PK.

Last Gasp Oak

Last Gasp of the Fallen Oak (#232)

Standing for a hundred or more years, this Oak tumbled in the Autumn of 2016. On this early frosty morning the branches reached for the sky in one last gasp of vitality.

Code: CL, PO.

The process of making the large-sized photgraphs into the 'thumbnails' shown here can sometimes make the image look grainy; the finished print however, will be crystal clear.
