Wallpaper of the Week, 4 December 2016

This post marks the first anniversary of Storm Desmond, which brought much flooding and damage to Cumbria, which was covered here on Reporting From The Fox Tower in the posts 'Listening to the radio' and 'Carlisle United, December 2015'.

Wallpaper of the Week is a photograph I took in the early afternoon of December 8, 2015. The wood carving is to resemble a frog, which I had seen on site on previous times, so was pleased to see it had survived the flood. The location of the above image is south of Eden Bridge, Great Musgrave, which you can see on Google Maps. The road from where the photograph was taken is the B6259.

Some notes regarding this photograph: The River Eden had risen to a level that the water ran across the road, carrying debris which was caught in the wire fence, which is what you can see in the bottom left of the picture, up to the carving.

Until the next time.

Welcome to March.

As this is the first post of the month, I did feel a welcome was in order. Here is Wallpaper of the Week:

This glorious image of the River Eden was taken as it was approaching five o'clock on the afternoon of March 25th, 2015. The flow of the river is approaching us; it has passed St Theobald's Church, Musgrave (obscured by trees, on the left of the river in the distance), to the location where this photograph was taken, on Musgrave Bridge.

I do hope the image has added some brightness to your day.

Midweek Wallpaper: The End of Summer 2011

AS today, Wednesday 31 August 2011, is officially the last day of Summer, I'm posting a view of the River Eden at Musgrave, taken July 2011, for your enjoyment. Mr Malcolm Cowin can be seen on the right of the picture.
