Return to Lumbsdale falls

After being stuck in the house for several days with a bug i picked up last week 
 i was ready to get out with the camera, Still feeling a bit rough i decided to go to Lumbsdale for the water falls , 
 The leaves would be falling onto the rocks and would give it a nice look





The following Friday shot over to Chatsworth House as it was a nice day , The sun was shining 
 
Can recommend the place for walking and sight seeing 

 
                                         Couldn't resist this photo
 
     
     theres so much to photograph at Chatsworth its a place for all seasons to photograph 
            Once again many thanks for viewing my  blog 
       take care and have a great week end every one

Alport Heights 

Had a morning at Alport heights Near Wirksworth in Derbyshire 
 Misty morning to start with but the scenes where great to see mist down in the valleys and sunshine above 
               Alpert Heights near Wirksworth terrific views from up here looking over the Staffordshire and Cheshire plains 
         Even the moon stayed up for me this morning
      Saw this mark on the face of Alport stone and took a shot of                it looks like he's looking at the moon
  On my way back home i took a lane i had nether drove down before        and found this view from one of the fields ,also found an electric fence as well set the tripod up and camera, leaned on the fence zap it was electric ,
         but still i think it was worth it

    closer view of Crich stand with the mist just clearing
          also found this derelict building which thought it was worth a photo some think about these old buildings which catch the eye got some else planned for this one night a bit later on
      well thank you for taking the time to read my blog 
       of my travels round and about , 
           take care all
