Coastal

Now the steel works is gone, there’s not much left of our manufacturing heritage in Workington. Being the environmentally conscious bunch that we were in the past hundred years or so, we decided the best thing to do would be to dump the byproducts of steel making along the coastline. Not the best idea, but as the waves and wind and weather have had their time to work, they have left some interesting structures behind.

Maybe to make up for how terrible we were in the last century, we now have a coast of windmills, which I guess is okay, too.

Buttermere

Buttermere

Another day exploring away from the roads. I love this valley. Most of the automotive work in my portfolio is shot in or around here.

It gets great evening light, the road varies from the sparse valleys of Honister Pass to quaint Lake District scenes. It’s really a great place to shoot.

I decided now would be as good a time as any to get out of my car, and go for a walk. And I had a really great time of it. Summer really brings this place to life, all the fields surrounding the village are carpeted in buttercups, the trees and hedgerows are alive and green (for once).

Once you get on the hillside, there are some great views of the village and the surrounding fells, as well as some pretty neat waterfalls.
