Barrow

Walked on 18/10/2007

The weather was nice and clear earlier on for my walk into Easedale and the evening proved to be equally as good. This isn’t the fell Barrow in the lakes but the town at the south of Cumbria where I live. Walney Island, just off Barrow, has some stunning views and often has glorious sunsets out over the Irish Sea and tonight was no exception when we walked along the beach and captured some of the local scenes.

There was an eerie, golden light at dusk from Walney Island, here looking out to Barrow Offshore Windfarm.

Great skies looking north to Black Combe along the shore from Biggar Bank.

Big cloud over the windfarm.

Connie was enjoying this lovely evening.

Heading back to the mainland as dusk fell, here looking from Jubilee Bridge there were stunning reflections on Walney Channel with Black Combe on the horizon.

I can't remember it being so calm.

Then crossing from Barrow Island to Barrow, the docks were also calm as this reflected crane shows.

The large building to the left is where the Royal Navy submarines are built. The lights to the far left are along the gangplank of the newly launched Astute submarine.
