Thanks for all your comments. Honestly, I have no idea which lake this is. While I do not know its called the Land of Daffodils, I am aware that it is also known as William Wordsworth's (the poet) district.

I seriously doubt it's call that, neither do I remember it being officially call Land of Peter Rabbit ;p but it's really Wordsworth's district along with Beatrix Potter. Wordsworth is remember more in Grasmere where he stayed for a long time; while Beatrix Potter is Windermere/Sawrey. But it was along Lake Ullswater where the daffodils poem took root. I think I bought a book with the poems he wrote while I was there, just that I need to find it, like the rest of my souvenirs! I think Peter Rabbit made the area a world wide sensation, which is why they nickname it as the Land of Peter Rabbit (and Peter Rabbit comes after Wordsworth's time, so nearer to modern times, I supposed).

It's ok, I thought the picture looks familiar except I don't recall such boats. Then again, I think after awhile, most of the lakes looks rather similar!!! :bsmilie:
 

10. Not much I can remember of this place, Worcester Cathedral.. The city of Worcester (I think it's pronounced as "wooster") is also famous for its porcelain products, known as the Royal Wocester.

OMG, this Bath shot is so beautiful. I was there almost 3 years ago with a film camera and a lousy weather. Failed to have any shot that is remotely as pretty as this. thanks for sharing.

8. Bath, well known for its Roman baths, is the most beautiful town I visited during my trip to the United Kingdom. Located west of London, the buildings here are homogenously coloured. Fom afar, it is indeed a pretty sight.

OMG, Peter Rabbit! that's my girl's funny book right now. I did not know there is a Peter Rabbit Land! thanks for sharing.

9. Another one of my favourites, and this one from the famous Lake District. This is a beautiful place with lovely, as the name implies, lakes. This is also known as the land of Peter Rabbit. A must visit for another going to the United Kingdom.
 

Wow ... really an astonish series! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

nicee.. just for my knowledge.. is the darker sky a post photo editing?

Yes. I did increase the contrast during post processing.
 

11. Ducks found swimming along River Dee, which cuts through the city of Chester.

12. My tour bus made a pit-stop somewhere in the county of Northumberland. Saw these horses grazing in a open field near some ruins on that misty morning.

13. Back to London's Hyde Park. Probably one of the reasons why the trees grow so well... especially with organic fertiliser ;)

subject wise, that is a good one, though i hope people ain't too sensitive and accuse you of anything.

i do wish the tent/shelter are not present on the left. but then it is unavoidable for such moments.
 

great shots. all of them.

I sure hope not... Don't want people to have the wrong impression either.

You are right that sometimes other objects included in the composition just simply cannot be avoided when we just need to seize the moment.
 

14. In Mar 97, I visited the USA for a tour around the west coast. One of the stops was the tourist attraction near the town of Scottsdale, Arizona, called Rawhide. It's basically a remake of an good ol' western cowboy town. This picture was taken during a sunset while visiting Rawhide.

Priceless capture. Candid at its best.
 

There seemed to be haloing ard the wooden post and cactus from the processing.
Otherwise another good composed shot

Ryan

Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't notice it.
 

heh i keep looking but see no haloing leh..
 

15. In Aug 98, I visited Greece. On immediate arrival, I took a bus directly from the airport to the port of Pireaus in Athens to catch an overnight ferry to the island of Santorini. Caught this young traveller on board the ferry on film.
