Friday was a terrific day for photography with big clouds and strong winds so I took a short trip to Hadrian's Wall. The only slightly dicey moment was standing atop Highshield Crags with thunder rumbling all around and noting that I was the tallest point for several miles. The weather was changing every few minutes with the second image taken during a hailstorm. Ken

Wonderful atmosphere!
I remember i have seen the Hadrian wall long time ago and was impressed with the landscape. The lake district area is another one i very much llike.
Your photos and Dave's make me want to go there again, thanks!

Good stuff, Ken.

Beautiful, particularly the first one.

Yes, the first is my pick of a good trio too.

Me too. It's certainly the finest photo of Hadrian's Wall that I have seen.
-
All three are nicely done, Ken!
-
Great real images from the famous location.
-
I fully agree with the others Ken and I too like the first one the best.

Stunning views and I'm joining the previous posters to vote for the fist image as my favorite.
Bravo.

Sorry, a little late in replying. Thank you all for your generous comments although I prefer the second image which I have reprocessed making it a fair bit brighter and a little more colourful. It certainly didn't look like this with the rain and hail flying down. Ken

With the new processing, I'll have to say that the new version of #2 is now my favorite.
Stunning!

This treatment is the one that I like most. It's got a bleak, end of the world quality.
Four years ago I happened to be staying in Borrowdale when I heard that a group of 100 Roman Legion re-enactors was spending the weekend on the wall at Birdoswald and Housesteads (3 buses including their gear and 30 barbarians). I felt they really sensed the significance of the wall as the limit of Rome's power, and it was marvellous as a lovely cloudless September day slowly turned into a bitingly-cold evening (it had been 40C when they had left Rome and Milan) and they marched from the wall carrying flaming torches. Their shivering (though some had fleeces) provided a little hint of what it might have been like for the garrisons.

Yes, liked the second mood also best, but the light of the first one was a bit better, not anymore...
could not resist to make a BW version.

Pieter just too dark and gloomy for me and I don't often say that. There may be a mono version from this location. I have other images that I haven't posted. I even have one in full sunshine, more to come. Ken

very nice... I think the processing re-attack suits the image quite well.
