Wallpaper of the Week: A memory.

WALLPAPER of the Week takes in a view of the River Eamont leaving Ullswater at lunchtime on March 25, 2015. This image, looking towards Ullswater, was taken from the Pooley Bridge, destroyed during the storms over the first weekend of December 2015.

THE FINAL image of the series of photographs taken at Ullswater, May 2013, is of the stone steps which lead from the roadside down to the water. I like the low sun shining at an angle, showing the greenery at its best and giving good light on this shot. I do hope you have enjoyed these images and will continue to visit Reporting From The Fox Tower.

WALLPAPER of the Week takes one final look - for now - at Ullswater. This image, as with the previous images in the series, was taken one evening in May 2013. I hope you have enjoyed this selection of images of the water and surrounding country. I still have one more image which will be in the next posting, then I intend to post a few more items closer to home in the near future. Until then, enjoy this week's image of Ullswater.

... and a Happy New Year from me.

JANUARY 1st 2014 has arrived, so I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and welcome you to the first posting of the year here on RFTFT. The image continues the series of photographs taken at Ullswater, May 14th 2013, at 6:15pm. I do hope you enjoy the picture and will enjoy 2014.

SUNDAY afternoon, listening to Eden FM, the sun is shining, a nice picture from Springtime, so it must be the weekend before Christmas. Yes, welcome along to this latest post on RFTFT, I do try to remember to use the word 'post' or 'posting', rather than 'edition' or 'issue', or even 'release'. If you would like a one-off paper edition of RFTFT, I may consider it during 2014. I have also used italics quite a lot so far, so will move onto the subject of this post. Please enjoy this week's image of Ullswater, taken at 6:15pm on 14 May 2013, by myself. I was hoping that the Eden Valley may have been festooned by the snow by now, which would have heralded some traditionally festive images for 'WotW', but I don't think images of heavy rainfall would elicit the same wistful thoughts of Christmas and Winter, so that's why I am posting the nice blue sky images of Ullswater.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

As CHRISTMAS draws ever closer, following the promise of the post a week ago here on RFTFT, we (in the northern hemisphere) are in the depths of the winter weather, which, apart from the torrential rain and winds, hasn't actually been too bad. We haven't had any snow yet. So following the 'WotW' post last week, we're not giving in to the scenes of snow as usually depicted all over the internet every December and continuing with blue sky scenes from spring and summer. The above image follows last week's post, as this is another image of Ullswater, taken by myself, on May 14th 2013.

Lots more nice images of the water (as Ullswater in not officially classed as a 'lake') to come, I also have some nice images of the Fox Tower itself I intend to share, as it is the monument after which I named this blog.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a good week.

I am pleased to announce the return of WotW (Yes, another italicised acronym) for the winter season. I don't want to dwell too much on the winter weather, so the first image is of Ullswater, the first of a series of photographs I took on 14 May 2013. I hope to post more images of blue skies from spring and summer 2013, which I hope you will appreciate and enjoy.
