Today in Pictures, nothing as exotic or windswept as the previous contributions, just a few shots from a "close to home" location.
1. A lonely look at eternity.
2. Just thought I would show my conkers, I'm not supposed to climb trees.
3. Well I never.
4. I can see Pendle from here.
5. Has someone remembered.
6. Well I never, the return.
7. Well I never, the trilogy is complete.
8. A gate that used to lead somewhere.
9. Just a reminder of what is just around the corner
A walk round Villa di Gargnano early last Sunday morning. The yellow house in the first photo is 'Villa Igea' where DHLawrence stayed for 6 months from September 1912 - it is where he finished the final draft of 'Sons & Lovers' - inspiring place to write as I hope you will agree from the photos. The rooftop shot, showing where most of the little streets in todays photos are, was taken from the church terrace as seen yesterday in the photos of the man was reading his paper and contemplating the lake.
Streets like that are a photographers dream! Your shots came out really well considering the contrasting areas of light and shadows - nicely done . I really like number 9 with the towels hanging out the window.
Weather was a bit rubbish today, so not a full set..
1. Windey road through Blubberhouses.
2. Can`t remember name of the river.
3. Grouse.
4. A trio of Mantas.
5. Back home the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Super shot of the grouse! I like the moodiness in number 10.

Some threatening skies there - been along the Blubberhouses road quite a few times as a girl going to visit family near Durham. One time it was winter and the snow was packed high either side. Amazing scenery up there.

You get a definite feel of autumn from these - some lovely funghi and a hint of moisture!

Views of the Thames from the QE2 Bridge at Dartford Today
That's just how I like to see the South Stevie, other peoples pictures.
You are a hero for going past Thelwall.
I must admit though, there are nice views from the bridge.
It was opened a year after I last was in the area, I used the tunnel.
