Nice weather for ducks

[jdal]

We've just got back from a week in the Lakes, in a nice cottage thank goodness, as it was rather damp. Some shots:

Coniston pier:


Furness Abbey, dissolved during the reign of Henry VIII, 1537, shot during the rain of September III, 2009, when it nearly dissolved again.


We actually managed a few walks when it wasn't actually lashing it down - Dunmail Raise and Helm Crag:


And the sun did come out (four times, for a total of abut 30 minutes).
Harrison Stickle, Pavey Ark and a rather full Stickle Ghyll. I wanted to get up there and have a look at the waterfalls but wor lass wasn't having any of it.


And now we're back the sun's shining.

Even the ducks seemed to be trying to protect themselves from mother nature.

Lovely photos. I was just toying with taking my daughter up there, and I think that the scenic shots have just won me over!

Lovely set, we normally only get the sunshine pics, it makes a nice change to see the other side, I really like No1

I really like the first one, myself - certainly out of the ordinary.

Re: Nice weather for ducks

Thanks guys. I quite like rainy shots, apart from any thing else there's less chance of blowing highlights because there aren't any

Jonesy - Go for it, there's always Lakeland photo ops regardless of the weather.

Well at least you've got a sense of humour! And that shot of the Langdale Pikes is very, very nice!

I go for that ducks shot, too. Excellent and unusual
