St Mary´s Church, Ambleside, in the beautiful English Lake District. Built between 1850 and 1854 in the Early Gothic style. The architect was Sir George Gilbert Scott. It was not as ornate as many Victorian churches, and was one of the first in the North to incorporate ideas from the Oxford Movement. Unlike many Lakeland churches, it has a spire, and is built of sandstone which was more easily worked than the local slate.

Sheila’s Cottage is one of the oldest restaurants in Ambleside in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England. Like most of the buildings in the village, it is constructed from local slate. Sheila’s Cottage is tucked away down a narrow lane called The Slack in the centre of the village. I uploaded this image months ago. I always liked the shot, but it was ruined by the washed out sky. I thought I might try to improve the shot by adding a sky. I hope you like the effect.

I had been in the English Lakes for a few days, but alas I needed to leave. With no desire to rush, I spent an hour or so walking the paths around Ambleside before getting back into my car. The Lake District was first settled thousands of years ago, Ambleside was a Roman fort town, so the sight of old stone walls shouldn't surprise you. The wall in this image isn't that old, but it does speak to the pastoral beauty of the national park. Here, on the edge of the town is a wonderful wall running across a field with a lovely mature tree standing by its side. Peace and tranquillity reign supreme.

Originally captured on film in February 1984, this is an image of "Bridge House" in Ambleside, in the English Lake District. According to the plaque by the house, there was a time when people lived there. Today it is an information booth for the English "National Trust". I've walked by the house many times, even been in it to buy a postcard, and have always wondered why it came to be. Even though it was a gray day, this image, taken during in the winter (it doesn't snow much in England), exudes the colour that still resides. The hedge that has turned a reddy-orange, there are remnants of green, and there's the wonderful hues in the slate, which is the dominant building material in the area. Ambleside is within the boundaries of t...
