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.

Lodore Falls

Lodore Falls

Sometimes things can hide in plain sight. Behind the Lodore Falls Hotel in Borrowdale, there’s a really great waterfall. I drive past the place fairly often, but until today I’ve totally ignored the waterfalls a short walk from the road.

Apparently the place can turn into a raging torrent after the rains, but it was pretty tame today, which let me climb around on the rocks without too much trouble.

It’s one of my new favourite places, so I’ll probably come back here a few times and see how much in changes. I think this place will look great in autumn, once the leaves are turning red. Although it was nice to see some greens in the Lakes! Sometimes this region can look a little bit dead.

Jaguar XJ-L, Hardknott Pass

Towards the end of last year I did my first real automotive shoot with the stunning Jaguar XJ-L, and to start of 2013 in earnest, I took it out again, this time to Hardknott Pass, for another shot. Here’s a few images from the shoot! More should be on the way soon.
