Ruined Door
Week 21 we’ve been up north and out for a walk in pouring rain with our friends Martha and Simon. We came upon a ruined farmhouse at the top of a steep bit of fell and has views across to Morecambe bay. Must have been quite a tough place to live.

Leek
Spent quite a bit of time photographing plants in our friends’ garden. The visual rhythm created by the leave of this leek plant caught my eye.
Monochrome processing seemed the way to approach this subject.

Levens Hall And Garden
Levens Hall is just down the road from where we were staying. The gardens are full of the most extraordinary topiary. It is the oldest topiary garden in the world.
I took many more photos of the topiary and gardens.

Sculpture Cartmel Abbey
Cartmel Abbey
Cartmel Priory is close to Grange Over Sands. The building is over 800 hundred years old, it is an impressive structure that survived Henry the Eight and the dissolution of the monasteries.

Barrow-In-Furness View To The Docks
Drove up to Barrow-In-Furness, not a place I’ve been before. Its is by turns industrial and wild as this picture captures. This shot was taken from Walney Island which faces the city one side and straight out into the Irish Sea on the other.
Piel Castle Panorama
There is something beautiful about bleak places that always appeals to me. The sense of being on the edge of things speaks to the romantic side of my nature.
Mind you being able to leave a bleak place probably adds to the attraction. I can’t see myself ever willingly taking a holiday at this camp. It is possible to have too much of a good thing.

Woodland Fern
Back inland after Barrow and things are lush and green in the woods. I find woods hard to photograph, where is the focal point for a shot in all that green. Could a be a new project learning how to make images in the woods.
