Lovely set. Tapas Bar my favourite.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

A cracking collection of Lake District photos, John. I must admit that I don't often walk at "lake level", but your sets show that there's plenty to see (and photograph) at all levels. Lovely!

Nice walk about in what looks like very changeable conditions.
the opener is a great mono , punchy, contrasty and suits the conditions also the cafe window i find very interesting but its great to get a blow of fresh air

+1 on the B&W comments. You have a real knack for them, John.
I'm really liking #12 too.

You've captured the essence of Lakeland, John, and it looks you had some great walks.

The cafe window stands out for me. Nicely done to keep the detail in the stone work and items on the sill.

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.

Thanks once again for the comments - it's interesting that the Black & White shots appear to be the favourites, most of the landscapes took time time and consideration for the framing, exposure and processing whilst the B&W's were literally quick "snaps"

A lovely set from a lovely place. The stand out ones for me are 4, 9 and 11, particularly the twisted oak - wonderful tree, great composition and framing.

The tree in pic 11 is a wow location but the 2 mono's are the picks for me
