    Broughton-in-Furness

    Yesterday was a 10.5 mile walk in the south Cumbria downlands. All very nice with bracken fields with grass paths. Weather was ... erm ... some very heavy rain ... some blue sky. I wasn't leading this ... and we didn't stop much ... so only a few photos.

    1. This a view from the highest point we got to (only 600')


    2. Steer Clear

    Has to walk through a field of bovines (these are steers I think)

    3. Railway Telegragh Remnants

    Some trackbed is now a footpath. The Coniston branch shut to passenger in 1958 and freight a few years after. Quite a few bits of the railway survive. Camera was quite wet at this point so didn't fancy using flash. Hand held at 1/10 (needs must).

    4. Taking Stock


    40D plus Marmite lens as normal.

    Please tell me about technical blunders.

    Do like Steer Clear, the scene looks like something from an old masters landscape scene.

      Thanks Di. It was one of those days when the lighting is strange (in a good sort of way) ... this was taken at the start of the walk and isn't HDR. Just a bit of levels and sharpening.
