Taking the bow!

Wetpixel Flikr Group

I am an administrator of Wetpixels Flickr group, and have been spending some time recently adding and inviting images to it. It is a spin off from the Wetpixel site, which to me mind is the best source for info on underwater photography available on the web. It now has 1462 members, and is one of the largest underwater photography groups on Flickr. Probabaly more telling, the group's pool now has some 23754 images!

A friend who has recently go into underwater photography was bemoaning the fact that he had a lot of great images, but never got to show them to anyone. Groups like this on Flickr are a great way of showcasing your pictures, and getting them to a wide audience! Best of all they are absolutely free! Even if you don't take pictures underwater yourself, the quality and variety of images on the group make for a fascinating visual feast! Join up today!

Walking in Eskdale, Lake District

I have been lucky to have had a week off, travelling first down to North Devon to visit my parents. They have moved and run a fantastic Bed and Breakfast, at Chittlehamholt, very close to the fantastic beaches and scenery of the North Devon coast. Their www site is here. Caron and I took the dogs down with us and had fantastic walks along the beach at Saunton and at Instow

We then travelled up and spebnt a few nights in Eskdale, close to Wastwater, in the Lake District. Again, we travelled with the dogs, so spent our time walking with them. Caron's sister and brother in law (Caroline and Rob) joined us with their dogs too-so we had quite a pack. I took these pictures while we were walking up around Irton Pike, one of the view towards the coast (as a panorama) and the other looking up into Wasdale
