As everyone in the UK has noticed the sun is begining to set around 6.30pm which is our usual time for a final dog wander up the lane. These were from midweek when we had fabulous colours over the fields in #Cumbria #uk #sunset #lakedistrict #autumn

Early morning wander to a little dog walking place in the Eden Valley called Cliburn Moss.I was after a bit of protection as it was raining !!! Lots of trees have shed their leaves because of recent winds, rain and general dryness. #uk #cumbria #edenvalley #autumn #trees #nature
Looking through some Autumnal trees in Cliburn Moss woods on an early  morning dog walk. The carpet of leaves and slivery bark on the trees created a quiet but lovely scene

Sorting out camera gear i found an SD card on an old Sony A7R with a few pictures from a trip to Islay 9 years ago. This is one from a sunset at Saligo Bay that never really materialised but the serenity and calm of the image makes me want to return soon #landscapephotography #scotland #islay #uk
The sun had gone over the horizon at Sligo Bay on Islay the southern most island of the Inner Hebrides. The  approaching darkness, f13 aperture, low ISO created a longish exposure and caught the last bit of colour in the Atlantic waves.
