"The Struggle" In Cumbria
A winding road heading up into the hills from Ambleside. A beautiful drive with some steep sections and lovely views of the surrounding hills. I wonder where the name "The Struggle" comes from? I can only image in winter with deep snow and ice it certainly would be a struggle travelling along this route.

A View From "The Struggle"
As the challenging road winds through stunning scenery and hills, this tree caught my attention from the road and I just stood looking across the valley as the hill tops were encased in low level cloud giving it a peaceful but moody feel with signs there was bad weather closing in or certainly a lot of rain which is almost guaranteed at some point of any visit to the Lake District.

A View Over Ullswater
I love these old stone and slate buildings the way they blend in with the walls and scenery so typical of the Lake District. These buildings certainly stand the test of time and are built to last.

These appear to be some form of man made structures on Barmston Beach in Yorkshire although I have no idea of their intended purpose.

Ship Passing Coastguard Radar Tower Liverpool
I can remember as a young boy playing around the rocks near this radar tower, fascinated by the mysterious men who peered out of the windows from their elevated and watchful positions. Nowadays it is all fenced off and boarded up although appears to still be in operation as an unmanned communications tower.

Tring Park Tree In The Mist
On a lovely cold crisp misty morning I came across this peculiar tree in Tring Park, Hertfordshire.

Tring Park Bench
Every time I walk around Tring Park I always take a moment to sit on this bench and admire the peaceful view from this elevated position. I have spent many hours here sometimes sitting from sunset into the darkness just enjoying the peacefulness and calming effect this location has on my mind. The sunset from this location can at times be spectacular. At dusk you can watch the rabbits running around and feeding on the grass just yards in front of the bench sometimes unaware of anyone watching them.
