The Idyle of Grassmere

Selected for Google Maps and Google Earth

Walking along the South banks of this fine Lake District Mere we stumble into a small outside cafe that includes a hire boat service if required. For me the photo location takes some beating and the coffee and cakes aren't bad either.

Herb Riddle on March 17, 2016

Nickolay and Steve, very happy you approve of this capture. I only realised after taking this that some water droplets had got onto my filter -hope that has not marred the picture too much. Thanks again for your likes. Herb

John, Sonja and Brian good that you too enjoy this very tranquil spot on Grassmere. You would never believe that there were loads of people eating and drinking in the open-air cafe behind me :) Many thanks for the great awards, Herb

a pretty opus with an elaborate diagonal emphasis... :-), l, f, marc.

Herb Riddle on May 1, 2016

Potoka, supraph2and Marc, thanks for another visit and favourable comment from you all. I think the 'diagonal emphasis' is helped by the characteristic diagonal of my Nikon ultra-wide angle lens, Marc:) Thanks again for your L&F's

Regards, Herb

Hi Herb,

After a long time of absence, it is obviously not feasible to provide all new uploads after my last visit with commentary. But I have them all admired in large format through the slide show, and I confine myself now for this moment to comment on this beautiful picture, which reminds me a bit of the beautiful lakes I've very recently able to admire during a tour in Ireland From now on, I hope again to find more time for Panoramio and I will try again to respond get as much as possible to new uploads.

See you soon again and greetings,

Jack
