There was a brief bit of mist lingering over the nearby fields & woods this morning. It didn’t last long before it all burned away. #Hawkshead #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
When you stay out climbing a bit too late, you do get to witness some lovely sunset-type light. This was after a dash out to Runestone Quarry yesterday evening after finishing work. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #mountains #mist #fog #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

My entry for #Sharemondays2026 this week is this scene I pass by very regularly. On this morning there was some lingering mist, adding a nice bit of mood. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
These are my 4 entries for the June round of #FSPrintMonday. Mostly mist-filled treescapes from the Lake District, plus an image of a blackbird emerging from the shadows. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #mist #fog #trees #blackbird #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
For #Sharemondays2026 this week - a quiet moment in the woods on a windless, mist-filled morning last week. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
Two more from last week's wander in the woods. #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
Three more shots from a couple of hours early on Wednesday morning, spent in my local mist-filled wood. #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
Another one from yesterday's mist-filled morning. #Hawkshead #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
At the end of each year, I usually post a summary of some of my favourite/best images from the previous 12 months. I never got around to doing that 6 months ago, so here, somewhat belatedly, are snapshots of my 9 favourite Lake District images from 2025. #LakeDistrict #Trees #Mountains #PhotoRippin
I'm always in awe of the way that woodlands burst with colour at this time of year. That colour is, of course, overwhelmingly green, but there's virtually every shade and hue of green imaginable. It's glorious. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #green #PhotoRippin
A favourite little tree-lined lane. #Hawkshead #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
It was very wet on Saturday in the Lake District & I was unsure whether my camera would seem much action. However I always take a camera & as the rain eased, this cliff loomed out of the mist. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #mountains #mist #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Another from a gloriously misty morning in Grizedale Forest last week. I just love the rich greens at this time of year. #GrizedaleForest #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

My 4 entries for the May round of #FSPrintMonday are: Bluebells in an old Lake District forest; layers of snow-covered Austrian trees and two Austrian mountain shots. #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #mountains #trees #forest #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
The rich greens of a summer woodland. A little way off the beaten track, I found this once fallen tree that sprouted new growth many years ago. The fallen trunk now supports multiple younger trees, all making their way and apparently thriving. A 'Phoenix Tree' - risen from the ashes. #PhotoRippin
For #Sharemondays2026 this week: catching the subtle post-sunset light, high above the Austrian village of Obergurgl. #Obergurgl #Austria #photography #landscape #mountains #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

'Serendipity'... for #Sharemondays2026. Overlooking the beautiful Lakeland village of Hawkshead (where I live) early one morning last week. #Hawkshead #VisitHawkshead #LakeDistrict #Rainbow #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
A fleeting moment of good fortune this morning. A quick dash up Latterbarrow with my camera optimistically on my back, meant I was there to capture this moment when a rainbow appeared over Hawkshead. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #Hawkshead #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
For #Sharemondays2026 - A line of trees at the Belvedere Palace, Vienna, that caught my eye. #photography #landscape #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
