Here's a photo thread with one rule - you can only post one photo a day but it can be of anything you would like to share. 
I took this yesterday at the incredibly bleak but beautiful Wast Water in the western Lake District. As you can see it is delightfully free of coaches and tourist hordes. In fact, free roaming sheep signficantly outnumber humans.
I really regretted not taking one of my decent cameras with me; this is only shot on my phone with a little post-processing, but I still think it gives a sense of the special atmosphere of the place.

Here is my shot of Wast Water, taken in 2010.  |

Blimey, that cloud's not shifted much in the meantime!

Heh, we must have been standing in almost the same position. It's a must-see place, fantastic sense of isolation.

Manchester was blessed with crisp, clear light this afternoon. This is the very fine looking Midland Hotel. |

I was round and about Buttermere and a few other places today. Here's a view of the last few rays over Crummock Water.  |

Nice, Chris, and all the better for being monochrome.

Thanks Martin.
I'm really starting to learn how to 'see' in black and white now!

Careful, you'll be returning your system to mono!

Thanks Martin. I'm really starting to learn how to 'see' in black and white now! That was a very handy back-light you had for the steam Chris - did you happen to be carrying one?? Great photo. |

Yep, I always keep one on a stand tucked away behind my ear like a pencil, just in case.
