A mixtures of pictures from Cumbria

Image
Rene and I went back to her house in Milnthorpe after she had had her knee replacement surgery and  had spent a few weeks with us in Arkesden. I stayed with her for a couple of days to do some shopping and make sure everything was OK. The Fuji XE-1 went on a couple of minor excursions, first to Dallam Towers, the deer park just down the road and then to Arnside, on the banks of Morecambe Bay, where the light was getting low. This seems to be my stomping ground when in this area. I messed around a bit and took straight pictures, mixtures of infrared and colour and multiple exposure pictures. In the first multiple exposure again there is the strange magenta colouration of the sky. I think the sunsets in this group stand out as overblown, compared to the more delicate tones of the others.

Dallam Towers and Leighton Moss

When we go to Cumbria we stay with Alan's mum in Milnthorpe, a large village on the A6 south of Windermere. There is a large house called Dallam Towers within walking distance, which has footpaths over a deer park where we can exercise the dog. There are views from the park over the Lake District hills and Morecambe Bay. A stream runs through the bottom of the estate, heavily overhung by trees as it enters the park. The first 3 pictures have ICM and multiple exposures of the stream and reflections, then the trees and then one of the knoll in colour and monochrome. The last 2 pictures are taken in Leighton Moss which is a short distance away.
