Monday 22nd October 2007

It was all a bit grey and murky this morning so Connie and I opted for a lower walk up to High Dam above Finsthwaite. We've been here many times before with a couple being documented on this site, but for those that don't know this place, I will repeat that Wainwright said it was 'a much nicer place than the over populated Tarn Hows'.

Newby Bridge.

The weir downstream of Newby Bridge on the River Leven - hold on, what's that on the edge of the weir?

It's a couple of ducks - they don't seem too concerned!

Low Dam.

Autumn shades.

High Dam reflections.

A feeble sun is reflected in this shot looking towards the dam.

Here comes Angus to shatter the stillness of the water.

The monster from the deep emerges.
