Several other countries, including the UK soon started placing orders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/c85091e3-04bb-42ef-bfd0-331c82811b26/164A4919.jpg Photos - RIAT 2025 The Lancaster from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight had some engine troubles in the days before the air show, and was a no-show on Friday.

I did, however, get some snaps with my phone while I was out walking Harv. This is from Slitt Woods near Westgate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/fd46e83f-c7fe-4bdb-9d67-3a1e925eaad1/PXL_20240517_185817535.RAW-02.ORIGINAL.jpg Weardale - 2024 More wild garlic from Slitt Woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/e3924e9c-c6ce-458d-8044-86fe9fdaed58/PXL_20240518_193930545.RAW-02.ORIGINAL.jpg Weardale - 2024 A late evening walk to the tiny reservoir above Slitt Woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/cf0bc2f9-830c-4bc1-9416-c2bd9b274781/PXL_20240519_071713871.RAW-02.ORIGINAL.jpg Weardale - 2024 For a couple of mornings in May, the dew picked out a blanket of spider webs covering the heather. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/0e2b8444-3b06-457a-829e-d3c3231bb057/sunset+view.jpg Weardale - 2024 Late evening sunshine on the heather-covered fells in July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/a196acba-8ae2-4d9f-a097-fa43507b75e5/_MG_4941-HDR-Edit.jpg Weardale - 2024 At the end of a sunny Sunday, I decided to take a walk in the golden hour only for a bank of whispy cloud to settle in front of the setting sun, diffusing the light and making everything quite flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/0bcfbb51-9a2b-4670-b3ce-a37e71367cb4/_MG_4956-Edit.jpg Weardale - 2024 Having really missed it last year, I was determined to get at least a few heather photos this summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/d642a74c-5c38-4536-851e-c6d087fb526c/_MG_4965-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 One of the old quarry faces along Crawley Edge. I haven't been able to find much information about these. They are marked on the OS six inch map from the mid-19th century in a way that suggests they were active then. On later editions, sometime between 1888 and 1915, they are marked as 'Old Quarries' and presumably no longer in use. The much larger Ashes Quarry, further down the bank, is not on the earlier maps, but opened in the 1870s and is on the later maps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/ab9fb2db-cda2-474a-acd0-932bb7e280e4/_MG_4970-Enhanced-NR.jpg Weardale - 2024 Shame about the gate! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/b9965d8a-ab9c-466d-a078-642618779e54/_MG_5016-Enhanced-NR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/1c329298-5209-41a4-9a65-f614fb9e1ca1/_MG_5566-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 When the Northern Lights showed up again in October I headed up to the fell behind the house.

My battery was getting low by this point, so I couldn't set up to take hundreds of shots to stack together to make it brighter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/7b8557d7-f4f1-46b1-9e69-94e487d1b765/_MG_5633-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 Northern Lights over the old quarry above Stanhope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/d27fbf2e-c6d3-414a-98d6-ba753c3eb5df/_MG_5552-Enhanced-NR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/30c8079a-5403-4dac-ae79-a6bdfbefe738/_MG_5581-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/5be3521b-577b-4afe-9cb5-f81bac2a1c1c/_MG_5623-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/70779c29-ed56-450c-bdff-f9af0bfdc083/_MG_5424.jpg Weardale - 2024 We've had some awful weather so far this autumn, but in between there have been a few truly beautiful evenings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/0ebfef4d-8c6c-4573-a133-f467715e4a2d/_MG_5434.jpg Weardale - 2024 I got out of the habit of taking my camera on dog walks, but I started again in the autumn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/e8796ebe-04bd-4504-8933-74d4692862f9/_MG_5603-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/0dce3557-4851-41d5-8011-62fbc4b24ecc/_MG_5477.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/9555c9cb-437f-4041-a207-4950614c9a4b/_MG_5506.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/8ccda620-da00-42ee-8eaf-f4d6681d83a9/_MG_5547-Enhanced-NR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/a174aa71-d8cd-46da-a3cd-8090bb0bd7ba/_MG_5898.jpg Weardale - 2024 The early autumn colours are impressive this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/5f4b7a95-0453-477f-ba64-5cd70baee50e/_MG_5918.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/d87ac04f-d94b-48c4-a540-7c8013d73cd3/_MG_5878-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/d1b07b4b-d9fc-4a80-a9d6-eb72eeb4b7f7/_MG_5984.jpg Weardale - 2024 Amidst a fortnight of grey and gloom in early November, there was a brief moment of drama on a Wednesday afternoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/aa8a53f8-b692-44c2-a447-ce192da617f3/_MG_5987.jpg Weardale - 2024 After a brief moment of dramatic light one afternoon, the next day offered a few moody moments out of my office window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/cc95e8b1-2892-41ec-bf4f-9d01324738bf/_MG_6537-Enhanced-NR.jpg Weardale - 2024 The snow that arrived with Storm Bert in November and stayed for just one day. https://www.wearpictures.uk/weadale-photos/2025 monthly 0.5 2025-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/764373fe-07c1-48b5-9765-e7f6382b294e/_MG_6691.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/d3941555-d732-4274-b06a-4c44a18ae922/_MG_6692.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/a1b1db1a-4a2f-4bad-9fdc-2142a3673a49/_MG_6786.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/74acfca6-be48-480d-b212-f4cf50d8b646/_MG_7381.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/e15186c1-443c-4438-b8bc-3c8f53de3716/_MG_7323.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/e96e03d3-61ab-4c72-bea8-f597ac7fc479/164A5766-HDR.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/0b148d1d-4760-4494-a96a-a0784debc99c/164A5770.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/b7e7f13c-eccf-411a-bd46-da0e570816fc/164A5791.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/b4690154-7f56-4722-bc7e-aefdeee9a7e6/164A5795.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/f857b13c-b46d-4bb9-a063-3c9f79a12b3b/_MG_7420.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/89d190b6-7daa-4379-9b3c-c8b33bf8e197/_MG_7453.jpg Weardale - 2025 https://www.wearpictures.uk/weadale-photos/project-two-llrgk-lsczt monthly 0.5 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649c825a496ac47929dfe631/77cc7cd7-2b28-446e-b003-6af51565d216/IMG_1383-Pano.jpg Weardale - 2023 Another winter panorama from my office window.
