Slaters Bridge[/caption]Landscapes
A glorious day hunting out landscapes in the Lake District (UK) afforded us the chance to visit and shoot Slater's Bridge, in the Little Langdale area.
A wonderfully photogenic spot as you can see by the shot above. Take Wellington Boots for a shot from the river Brathay.
I shouldn't have to say that landscapes abound in the Lake District so you should definitely not be spoilt for choice.

Wikipedia - Langdale was previously known as Langdene meaning 'far away wooded valley' and referring to its distance along the flint route from Whitley Bay.[1] Historically Little Langdale was at the intersection of packhorse routes leading to Ravenglass, Whitehaven, Keswick, Penrith & Carlisle, Ambleside, Hawkshead, and Coniston, Ulverston, Broughton-in-Furness and Barrow in Furness.[2] Slater's Bridge which crosses the River Brathay in 3 spans supported by a large mid-stream boulder and stone causeways is a 17th-century, slate-built, former packhorse bridge on one of these routes.[3] Today metalled roads from Little Langdale lead west over Wrynose Pass and Hardknott towards Eskdale, northwest by Blea Tarn to Great Langdale, northeast to Elterwater and east to the Skelwith Bridge - Coniston road.
