We arrived in London just before summer was about to start this year. Time flies… four months later, we are starting to witness the change in seasons as summer is about to make way for autumn. The days are getting noticeably shorter, with the sun rising much later and setting much earlier. We decided to catch the remaining summer weather by spending as much time outdoors as my breaks from work would allow. Here’s a home-made postcard from London, capturing the iconic London Eye and Palace of Westminster (Big Ben) at dusk last weekend.

I took a different approach and journey to Windermere on what must have been my fifth or sixth visit this time, taking some suggestions from a Lake District e-book that I purchased. We made a half-an-hour quiet trek up to Gummer’s How and were rewarded with nice panoramic views of the surrounding areas.

This was taken at Coniston Water at the Lake District in Cumbria just over the weekend. The scene reminded me of an even more dramatic skyscape which I took in New Zealand a few years ago. CY has commented that my photography of late has revolved around dramatic skyscapes… maybe the skies in the UK are just a little bit more interesting compared to what we have back home! 😛
