Can't wait to see these at home on a real monitor. Nice work

Excellent work. The second shot is my favourite but they are all great shots.

I never realized the mountains (before posts like this and from Thomas) were that big in England. I had to have a look on Google maps to see where you are and noticed there's a Cannock woods nearby. Sounds similar to our nickname " canuck" and I just might have to come for a visit someday!

Thanks for sharing Dave.

Very beautiful images... I like then all.. JIMBO

I really like the 3rd one. The reflections on the water really set it off.

OrenMc · 12-01-2008, 08:07 AM

I really like the second and third shot. I used to do a lot of hiking and peakbagging so the mountains have a special place in my heart. Add a little snow and I'm in heaven! A good reflection is always a +.

Peter,

Unfortunately we don't have any big mountains in the UK. Largest peaks are:
Scotland Ben Nevis at 4409ft
Wales Snowdon at 3560ft
England Scafell Pike at 3209ft.

Although I live in the Midlands (within 4 miles of Cannock Chase) the images above are all from North Wales which is about 2hrs drive (120miles) from where I live.
The peak in the clouds in the second image is Snowdon and the ridge connecting all the peaks in that image forms the "Snowdon Horseshoe" a fine ridge walk tho' not of Alpine or North American scale.

If you do ever visit I'll be happy to show you around.

Excellent shots Dave - while they mountains may not be big - they sure are beautiful well done indeed.

cindy s · 12-01-2008, 01:55 PM

Nice series! The second and third shots are my favorite

jeffkpotter · 12-01-2008, 04:01 PM

Brilliant shots! Thank you.

dazman · 12-02-2008, 02:05 AM

Excellent shots, dave. I hope you have some more landscapes to post soon

axl · 12-02-2008, 02:06 AM

great series, I'd crop the first on from the bottom a bit, but the second one is just great, really great shot, well done...

spyglass · 12-02-2008, 02:39 AM

The second shot looks like a bit like an HDR image, very powerful.

I agree with the others...all great shots, but #2 is a stunner. Great colours and great use of foreground. Well done!
