Amazing colours captured there. I imagine what a Martian lake would look like.

It is an amazing place to be in the hour before the sun sets at this time of year when it lights up the valley and compliments the colour of the dead bracken and grass the place just glows.


Here is a shot I took a while ago after I had taken the landscapes shots I wanted.

I went to wasdale yestedrady afternoon as I could see heavy clouds with some small gaps in them but some gaps on the way or so I thought. I spent the whole dodging showers while I was there and the wife at work a few miles away said it did not rain but that is Cumbrian waether for you.


Here are the shots I took

Galtelandssteinen by Lykketrollet, on Flickr

A replica of "Galtelandssteinen", also called "Evjesteinen", and stands at the center of a small stone circle.
The original runic stone has been moved to a museum in Oslo.
It is said to be the oldest runic stone found with a Christian content, and has been dated to year 1016-20.
The text goes something like this: "Arnstein reiste denne steinen etter Bjor, son sin. Han døyde i Hæren da Knut gjekk til åtak på England. Gud er én/Det er bare én Gud."
Translated, more or less: "Arnstein raised this stone in memory of Bjor, his son, who fell in the army when Knut attacked England. God is one/There is only one God."

Even though it is only a replica, it still holds a special presence.
