What more is there to say. It’s a signpost…

This weeks picture probably looks slightly abstract to you. Well this was the January view from Bleaberry Fell in the Lake District looking towards the Scafell peaks.

Looks autumnal? This is a spring photograph, taken looking in to the trees surrounding Derwent reservoir in the Peak District. There seemed to be more trees without leaves than with and a lot with one side coated with rust coloured patches. Maybe something is slowly spreading among the trees, maybe the conifers are fighting back.

Back in the Antarctic for this weeks picture, taken on the way to Beascochea Bay. An idyllic day.

Several thousand miles away from last weeks choice and a place that sees many more visitors than a distant outpost of America, this spot is to be found along Derwent reservoir in the Peak District.

Inside the abandoned American base on Stonington Island, Antarctica. The wooden huts have been preserved as a sort of museum, not that they see many visitors. Stonington, below the Antarctic Circle, the majority of the tourist ships turn round well before getting this far.

A Springtime shot for you. I quite like the band of blue that runs across the middle of the shot, lending a splash of colour against the rest of the greenery and the silhouettes of the trees.

Back on Stonington Island this week. This sign was beyond the rusty nails and bits of glass and rusty metalwork of the American base. Whether someone had moved it from its original place or whether there was worse beyond I will never find out.

Spring… depending on your viewpoint either started on the 1st March as classed by the weather forcasters, is about to start on the 21st as classed by the astronomers or will start whenever the weather perks up a bit.
Whatever your view, a spring like picture of the week for you this week. Green leaves, new flowers, the fresh drops of rain. This is the lesser periwinkle, bit invasive this one, likes rooting wherever its stems touch the ground.

Outside the abandoned American base on Stonington Island, Antarctic peninsula. In complete contrast to the British base only a few hundred meters away the American base was showing its age. Outside what was left of the workshop the ground was littered with bits and pieces, from nails to broken candles and exposed film.
