First snow on the tops of the fells this morning.

Summer’s over
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
The summer holidays are well and truly over. Photos of our week in Wales (in Horton, on the Gower peninsula) and our week in Scotland (just outside Nairn) are in the gallery — see the link on the right.
Another old photo

Not sure who this is, but it’s probably a relative on the Casson side of the family. Any guesses?
Slide scanning has begun
Thursday, November 15, 2007
I have today posted on Picasa the first box of slides that I’ve had scanned (by Pro-Scan). They look great, and at 4000dpi are much better than I could get with my own scanner. Now, I have to decide on a way to organise them. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 for my digital camera photos, but uploading from there isn’t too easy unless you want to use the one service it links with. Picasa is free and uploads easily to Picasa Web Albums, but has a few annoying limitations - such as not being able to set the date on the picture. Email me if you want links to the Picasa albums.
Photo: Four British Sailors in North Platte, NE
Sunday, June 17, 2007
I’m going through an old photo album (there’s not much in it) and posting photos from it. This one has written on the back:
Taken at North Platte, Nebraska
Four British Sailors bound for San Francisco then parts unknown.
From Walla Crag to the Caribbean
Sunday, May 27, 2007
Not much happening today. I spent the morning in my office going through my piles of stuff, and not accomplishing much. Shortly after noon I decided to see how quickly Patch and I could get up Walla Crag and back: 48 minutes (which was better than I expected). Patch is now sleeping on the floor of my office, totally wiped out. Tonight we’re going to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

Another old photo of my dad. I found this one in an old, mostly empty, photo album. It’s in an orange folder:
Keswick and Derwentwater in 2007
Sunday, May 20, 2007
I hiked up Latrigg this morning and spent a few minutes trying to identify where the last photo was taken from. Here’s the 2007 version of Keswick and Derwentwater.
Old Postcard: Keswick and Derwentwater
Friday, May 18, 2007
I’ve scanned an old postcard I bought a while back - I’ll try to find one of my own photos that’s a bit more recent.
