Many thanks Scott... much appreciated.

That's very true... it's just finding the time to write the words in a coherent way.

Thanks very much Mick... really appreciate that. Yes, i certainly need to try and improve the frequency of doing these!

Season summary - the end of autumn — PhotoRippin When I started out with my blogging efforts, I pointed out that they were likely to be very occasional. So, with it being six months since the last one, I’ve stayed true to my word. I’m not actually p...

At the beginning of 2025, I set out to try and write a few words every now and then about my photography. This has been exceptionally sporadic, but I've got a new blog post with some pics from the autumn, if anyone is interested. Link is: www.photorippin.com/blog/season-...

Thank you! #PhotoRippin

Thank you very much Armand.

Thanks Christoph.

A wall of autunal trees. There was a light mist lifting as the sun slowly rose, bathing this scene in soft pastel light.

Sunrise and a little bit of mist rising off the ground, as this lone naked tree stood on the edge of a field.

One of those magical periods when the rain comes intermittently, but so does the sunshine. The result is, of course, a rainbow. Here, it sits over a forest, along with some lovely light on the autumnal trees.

Early morning and as the light appeared so did the realisation of the first snow of the season on the hills in the background. Meanwhile, the rising late-autumn sun bathed the foregound in lovely golden hues.

Here are my 4 entries for the November round of #FSPrintMonday. We've had some lovely early-morning lighting over the last month, so the shots here reflect that. See alt-text for more info.

Thanks David. I watched this band of mist slowly move and spread across the scene for quite a while. It was quite mesmerising!

Sunrise, lingering mist and a smattering of snow on the tops: my #Sharemondays2025 entry for this week.

'Isolated from the gang' - a lone tree catching the light yesterday in Borrowdale.

Thanks Jonny. Sadly I couldn't get out this evening but it looked nice from my window. These were from just after sun-up this morning.

The snow has arrived on the Lake District hills!

Thank you Sarah... what a great description!

For #Sharemondays2025 this week - a brief glimpse of the mountains (Crinkle Crags in the Lake District) on Saturday, on what was otherwise a very murky day.

A little bit of morning mist in Grizedale Forest.

Thank you very much Jakob.

I'm being a bit indecisive, but have finally decided to go for this early morning just-after-sunrise shot for #Sharemondays2025 this week.

This morning, as the sun was rising over the southern Lake District.

It was just stunning here in the southern Lakes this morning.

New video: A glacier on Antarctica’s Eastern Peninsula experienced the fastest retreat recorded in modern history—in just two months, nearly 50 percent of the glacier disintegrated. Watch this video to understand what happened. Study by @ciresnews #Antarctica #glaciermelt

Yes indeed. I might have to wait a little longer down my way in the Lakes, but I'm hopeful we'll start seeing a dusting on the tops before too long.

Great to see the snow appearing. A really beautiful image.
