Tarn Hows Waterfalls, Lake District

Here are a few waterfalls I snapped on a quick break back up North when visiting family. I took them on the tributary to Tarn Hows, which is about 2 miles North East of Coniston. The Tarn is fed at its northern end by a series of valley and basin mires and is drained by Tom Gill which cascades down over several small waterfalls to Glen Mary bridge. I hope you like them!

Chess Games

Photograph Details: Nikon D7000 Focal length 18mm ISO-250 exp: 1/125 f5.6

Taken at Down House, the Home of Darwin. Down House has a fantastic garden and a lovely walk through a small wood. It has all sorts of things to keep kids busy, like this chess board and a balance game where you have to see how many animals can fit onto a balanced hill without them all falling off with a clatter. Needless to say when I was there, no kids got to play that day! Definately worth a good day out to visit, plus if you fly its just around the corner from Biggin Hill airfield - happy days!

Nikon's Own Version of Photoshop? Not Quite

Today Nikon announced that they wish to expand their current industrial activities to also include pharmaceutical, quasi-pharmaceutical and cosmetics. Although it is far removed from making VR lenses and camera bodies, their current work also includes sport optics, precision equipment and scientific instruments.

Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics sounds like pills and makeup (Nikon could just release their own version of photoshop to hide blemishes!) but looking at the lineup of Nikon already in existence my money's on the design and manufacture process as opposed to them making their own Nikon Facial Scrubs and Nikon Eau d'Toilette - leave that for the celebrities of this world who are clearly very strapped for cash and need a little income boost!

I spotted this on a rather rainy drive to the farmhouse. Although they are resident here, I still like to spy them mooching around

Chartwell - The Home of Winston Churchill

Photograph Details: Nikon D7000 Focal length 55mm ISO-100 exp: 1/13 f9

For those of you who think you know Winston Churchill, you are probably wrong... He was not, as we are taught, a talking dog on TV adverts, nor was he the Prime Minister (twice). He was in fact an American GI and bore a striking resemblance to Christian Slater... The bloke you think you know as Churchill was a propaganda tool whose real name was Roy Bubbles. The real Churchill was the man who stole the German's enigma coding machine and foiled Hitler's plot to move into Buckingham Palace and marry one of the Windsor kids. Oh, and he also single handedly, along with his black comrade-in-arms Denzil Eisenhower, won the Battle of Britain for us which was jolly kind of him. Kudos Mr. Churchill
