RPDL of the week

a trip back to antarctica for this one. Winter is not many weeks away so it’s only right you get an icy picture

Clear Iceberg, Beascochea Bay, Antarctic Peninsula

in to the trees

In keeping with the recent pictures on the site (i’ll move on to something different for the next one, promise).

RPDL of the week

Near Robin Hoods Bay

The closest picture I can find in my archives to fit in with it being Halloween is this one. The path of the old Scarborough to Whitby line, lined with overarching branches and leaving the path in gloom even on what was a sunny day. I can imagine it feels quite a spooky place in the autumn or winter when the light is low.

I’m aware it’s not the best picture in the world, with the purple light of doom appearing round the upper branches, but then again it was taken on my fairly basic 2MP phone camera a few years ago. You get the idea.

Update: an amended version thanks to @pillmanuk on twitter.

another lake district scene. Descending from Place Fell and on the shores of Ullswater. Wainwright calls this path from Scalehow Beck to Patterdale ‘the most beautiful and rewarding walk in Lakeland’
