A single tree amidst the fingers of limestone with a view of Bla Bheinn in the distance. Personally I prefer the vertical composition from this location as this composition isn't as balanced.

A final post before heading to the Lakes.

After parking the car it was a short walk downhill to Traigh Mangarstadh (Mangersta) to watch the surf roll in. As I explored the rock formations along the southern end of the beach, I came upon these rocks. When I came behind the seaweed covered rocks, the angle of the sunlight turned the strands of draped seaweed into strands of gold.

Traigh Mangarstadh (Mangersta) is located on the B8011 on the western coast of the Isle of Lewis.

Last year this was our view as we followed the dry stone wall on Lingmoor Fell. In the center is Side Pike with the Langdale Pikes in the distance. It was a fantastic morning with bits of sunshine mixed with brief but intense showers.

Two days ago we repeated this walk and the weather was nearly identical. We ended up sheltering in the same spot as last year waiting for a heavy rain shower to pass.

The start of the day in Glacier National Park began along the shore of Lake McDonald enjoying the morning's tranquility. The largest lake in Glacier National Park is Lake McDonald at almost 10 miles in length. Across the lake is the Lewis Range of the Rocky Mountains. The cloud capped Stanton Mountain (7313ft) is left of center while right of center is Mt. Brown (8566ft) with its summit in the clouds and in the center is cloud covered Mt. Cannon (8953ft). Through the gap is where the Road to the Sun passes on its way to Logan Pass.

I was able to capture and enjoy this serene view in relative solitude, especially considering the crowds of people who would be visiting the park later in the day. My better half was already investigating the various gift shops located nearby.

Actually, there are three pairs of trees, but the third pair is difficult to see in this composition.

Taken on an afternoon walk in the Yorkshire Dales while my other half was 'enjoying' a brief stay in the Lancaster Hospital while the NHS repaired her broken wrist (she fell on a fell in the fall).
