Title: Challenge - Feeling
Post by: Willowisp on 17:28:30, 05/07/11
Ok so thought this may be worth a shot to see if we can get any interest in something a little different. Maybe a bit arty for some/all but we shall see.


Take a picture or post a picture that represents a feeling for you.
Can be anything just add a little blurb about why you choose the shot and what it represents for you.

I shall get the ball rolling and see if anyone follows.

One of the joys of mountain walking for me is the ability to disconnect yourself from the normal everyday dramas of life and just be.
No bills, no time scale except available light just you and your environment, to be Content

Post by: joester on 17:16:18, 07/07/11
Quite difficult, this.
 
It would be very easy to chuck up a half-decent shot and throw a suitable feeling in after it, but that's not what this is about.
So, after much deliberation:

Nice one Joe.
Nice to see you are not carrying them in this pic :)


Quite impressed that we now have a few posts on this. I had a feeling it would flop. Cheers everyone.


Its nice to have a story/feeling behind a picture, it gives the picture another dimension.

Thanks for that but I’m still working on the inspirational bit, the photo was taken on Clennell Hill with Silverton hill in the back ground. (Northumberland)

No, just don’t have any/many members yet , no one loves us up here,  :( it could be that half of Northumberland  still hasn’t got electricity  or running water for that matter  :-\ :-\ ,last time I was out in the wilds most of the locals hadn’t even heard of this internet thingy :P   but it’s a local forum and can only grow .

Fully agree. O0
This is a great thread. It's all well and good going out and taking some super landscape shots but to produce photos like we have already seen takes a bit of thought. I look forward to keeping an eye on this thread. Who knows, a magazine may even pinch the idea ;)

Post by: gotmeheadshaved on 13:24:45, 08/07/11
Good idea for a thread this but very hard to choose a photo. Lots of photos are just that, but others kind of transcend just being a 'photo' because there is a 'special' feeling or memory attached to them. I guess that's what this thread is all about so I have chosen the one attached. It was taken on a glorious day after a walk up to Alcock Tarn. I sat eating my lunch and looked down over Grasmere. I had never been to this area before and it blew me away. It was like looking at 'perfection' and since then Grasmere has become one of my favourites places, not just in The Lakes, but anywhere.

As a feeling - Tranquility. However my over-riding feeling at the time was "a perfect moment". Inominate Tarn, usually thronged had me and walking bud, one guy with a camera and two young men reading the wainwright guide. A perfect moment that I've never forgotten.

Melancholy - abandoned tracks in Noah Dale:

and Awe - being perched on the edge of the scarp slope of Boulsworth Hill by the Abbot Stone looking out across the hills and dales, feeling like a fly on a wall - a tiny observer. Hard to put into words  :-\

Mick it's from a few weeks ago in Coigach - on Beinn an Eoin looking over Stac Pollaidh and the NW coast out to the Hebrides - absolutely awesome place. The day started claggy and we just couldn't believe how glorious it turned out. The sight of the four of them just rooted to the spot because of the awesomeness of it all was brilliant!

Three peaceful places.
 
The River Wye as it flows beneath Great Shacklow Woods, a few miles from the village of Ashford in the Water near Bakewell.
(http://justramblingon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/13-monsalducks.jpg)
 
A mile or so farther upstream on the River Wye is this footbridge in a delightful part of Monsal Dale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsal_Dale) known as Upperdale.
(http://justramblingon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/14-wyeinmonsal.jpg)
 
In a secluded setting amongst the trees beneath Raven’s Crag, and deep in the heart of Cressbrook Dale (http://www.peakdistrictview.com/?page=place&placeid=1371) are two tiny rows of former lead miners cottages known as Ravensdale Cottages.

Title: Re: Challenge - Feeling
Post by: docpaul on 22:13:14, 10/07/11
'Awe'
 

Beautiful!
 
Awe is something that is sadly missing from a lot of lives in our world - one element of this lack is that most of us rarely get to see a really dark star-studded sky and feel how BIG the universe is!
 
I think we walkers get to experience awe quite a bit and it's part of what drives us to keep getting out there.
 
Thanks for sharing.  O0

Pride (and thankfully it did not come before a fall!) - my wife, with arms so short I swear she's descended from a T. Rex and legs that barely reach the floor, despatching main gully on Bristly Ridge, after coming over Tryfan via the north ridge. I think, cm for cm, she's a far better scrambler than I am! She's fab. 8)

Another of my peaceful places, taken this afternoon during a very, VERY leisurely stroll through Roddlesworth Woods. I find it so relaxing to be in these woods that I could sit for hours by the river, just listening to the water flowing by and the birds singing in the trees. O0

More great photos! Ive just tried uploading something to picasa and getting it to show on here but no luck :(

And now lovinit has quoted it, she is quick on  the bloomin draw that one.... I hope she s that fast when its time to get a round in  ;D

Actually if you click on the bottom bit of what she quoted you get linked to a postage stamp sized  pic of me family, the feeling is NOSTALGIA cos it is a few years ago - pre-teenage times!

Some brilliant shots on this thread folks, apologies it's taken me a while to add my offering, but works been keeping busy recently!
Anyhow, here's one from me, taken towards the end of last year, on a lovely autumn afternoon when we sat up on the lower slopes of Gowbarrow Fell watching an inversion starting to develop over Ullswater. Couldn't think of a nicer spot to spend a couple of hours watching the world go by! ...  8)

Would love to say I'll try to get some nice pic's tomorrow (doing the tissington trail) but the forecast's not looking good and I'm not sure I dare take my posh new camera because of it  :(

Jimmy's recent TR on Buttermere round mentioned the ridge walk between Hopegill Head and Whiteside so I thought this shot would be appropriate:

Your call, but there are 3 beings in the photo.  I'd go for 'companionship' or something similar.

There have been some awesome photos in this thread and I've been wondering what to post.


For me, one of the best things when out walking has to be that feeling you get as the whole landscape opens out inviting you to walk through it...the sheer sense of open space.

That's fabulous, Al.  O0   People talk about "Big Skies" which is daft in a way, cos the sky is the sky, but your picture shows how wide and deep coastal landscapes can look - I love that sense of space invitingness too!

Working nightshift isn't great, but then again you usually get sunset and sunrise.

Sunrise for me is always a feeling of freshness.

Here's two from last week...night and day

Taken on 24th July 2011, while completing the National 3-peaks Challenge.

As i crested Hollow Stones, the sun poked it's head above Great End with dramatic effect and vibrant colours throughout most of the spectrum that the photo does not do service to.
Low patchy cloudy whisping around the mountains gave a wonderful feeling of height and calm.

I call it "Mornings Glory"

Can I add this one to the terrific selection we've seen so far.
 
View of the Kinder Plateau in the Derbyshire Peak District, taken near the junction of two paths in an area called Bridge-End Pasture above the Ladybower Reservoir. It was taken a few years agoon my first 15ml walk and for me it exemplifies the idea of wide open spaces.

Been a while since we were wearing our hearts on our sleeve on Willowisp's thread, so I thought I'd post this from the
Lago di Bolsena - I'd call it "total relaxation!"
 
(http://i51.tinypic.com/25txjpe.jpg)
 
It's as peaceful and undeveloped a place as you could find in Italy, the water is so clean you can reputedly drink it straight from the lake, and the swimming is gorgeous!  O0
