Green, green & more green! - a photo on Flickriver

            Aira Force, Ullswater, Lake District National Park - back to my June trip to keswick. One of those dreary damp days and not been to Aira Force before so decided to set off there as I was also hoping to get up onto Gobarrow Fell. I took the standard viewpoint shot as I didn't have it. Only issues were the narrow viewing area as Covid was still a big issue and there wre building works going on to create a new lower viewing platform. I had to find a composition to exclude it. I wasn't sure if Aira Force would be worth the visit but I was pleasantly surprised as I got the whole falls and parts of it plus the stream itself had various small cascades you can shoot. The green was really strong so I've just removed a bit of the saturation and added a small amount of Orton effect.

Aira Force lies on land owned by the National Trust. The Trust purchased the 750-acre Gowbarrow Park on which the force (waterfall) lies in 1906 and has provided facilities, such as car parking, disabled access, graded paths, and viewing platforms to make Aira Force one of the most famous and most visited waterfalls in the Lake District. A small arched bridge spans the stream just as the beck goes over the falls giving views from the top. There is also a second bridge at the foot of the falls. Both bridges were constructed in honour of two members of the Spring family early in the 20th century. Cecil Spring Rice was the British ambassador to the USA during the First World War, while Stephen Spring Rice was a senior civil servant. The bridges are of particular interest: the lower is made of vertical stones, not traditional in this area of Cumbria, while the higher has horizontal stones, more in keeping with the dale customs.
