Hardwick Old Hall

The gardeners do a fantastic job of keeping it all looking amazing

And then up to the Hall itself, these shots were taken the week after the previous ones, the gardens looked great! The Hall

We'll never tire of going to Hardwick Hall, in around 15 minutes we can be there to see its every changing landscape as the seasons come and go (but it does have a good selection of cakes which helps)! We last went in early June & the Millers Ponds looked great.

Different scenery this time, bit of water! To the south of Derby runs the Trent and Mersey Canal which links the River Trent (Nottingham) to the Mersey near Runcorn I think. One of our favourite walks is to follow the canal path down to the Trent and walk along the riverbank to Sawley Marina...

Here's my effort, its not too bad a shot, just taken quite impromptu in the back garden, I'm not too good at close up shots so my plan is to use the weekly & monthly challenges to gain practice and step up a bit more & use the challenge to improve! BTW, the little black dots are seeds from the...

Entry # 1 Looking out through our patio doors onto the back garden, who's peeping out at me? :)

this has been my landscape for the weekend, the river Windrush at Swinbrook nr Oxford

Another favourite of ours is Silverhill Trail, once more set around an old Colliery, Silverhill. The trail itself is along old railway lines that led to Silverhill and then, one of the old spoil heaps has been cleaned up and trees planted on top with a bronze Miner on top, in memory of the...

This stone building is the engine house, forming part of Pleasley Colliery Winding Wheels in Nottinghamshire, one half of them in the background, the other pair behind me out of shot. Built in 1873!

Had nothing better to do than head into Derbyshire to the Dams.

This is a small stream coming off Whernside near Dent, which, when it rains heavy becomes quite torrential. It was nice and peaceful / tranquil when we visited. Dancing Flags.

Hardwick Old Hall seen from the English Heritage Centre

Not had chance to pop on lately, moved house and went exploring Yorkshire for a while..here is one of the River Dee on the Yorkshire / Cumbria border and one from Staithes Harbour.

We had a really sunny Mayday weekend, the Trent & Mersey Canal near Nottingham was very busy (and colourful)

Ive been trying out Skylum Aurora to see what enhancements and improvements can be made to my images. Im pleased with this one: The colours have gone from being cold (it was mid winter here) to jumping out at you. :)
