Northumberland Landscapes - Gibside

Gibside


Took a photography trip with a good friend and fellow photographer to the National Trust property of Gibside in Rowlands Gill, North East UK. Not technically Northumberland Landscapes but landscapes galore there were.

It was rather cold and had been raining but we persevered, glad we did.

It's a fantastic place with ACRES of grounds to explore. As we found out when a fellow visitor suggested we hike to the farthest corner for a fantastic tree, which we could not find. It did allow us to see most of the grounds though.

The journey back down the hill brought us to the iconic avenue of trees leading up to the chapel.

It started raining so we sheltered under a tree, then the sun poked it's head out through the clouds above the chapel, serendipity! Camera out, quick!

Landscapes then coffee and cake in the cafe.

Lake District Landscapes - Woodland Sun, Skelwith Bridge

Skelwith Bridge


Having photographed the footbridge over the River Brathay near Wikipedia - Skelwith Bridge we headed into the trees to explore and find landscapes.

We came across a lovely hollow, where the autumn trees were amazing shades and the sun was shining through the branches to leave pools of light in places.

Again, camera out.

Shortly after, down to Chesters By The River for coffee and cake ... chocolate.
