And it arrived yesterday (but I was away...). And as impressive the fast postal service is, your print is even more so!
"Mike's Farm" is a view towards a wildflower meadow, stonewall, farm buildings, mighty trees, hills (or mountains already? Could be a minefield to use the wrong word...) and finally the cloudy sky - landscape to dive into.Made in Langdale Valley (Cumbria) with the Wista 5x4, a 135mm lens, FP4+ loaded. The warmtone paper intensifies the feeling. Yep, I enjoy this photograph a lot! Thank you Paul!

And received here yesterday safe and sound. A lovely print (kentmere VC select?) of some shells on a black background. Very mysterious and alluring....

A print from Bill was waiting for me when I got back from Scotland yesterday. It is of a couple of bridges over a stream in a lovely wooded glade. One of these is a 'clapper bridge' which has set we wondering what makes a narrow bridge of long flat stones a 'clapper bridge'?
Thanks very much, Bill. Mike |

Quote:
"A clapper bridge is an ancient form of bridge found on the moors of Devon (Dartmoor and Exmoor) and in other upland areas of the United Kingdom including Snowdonia and Anglesey, Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire. It is formed by large flat slabs of stone, often granite or schist, supported on stone piers (across rivers), or resting on the banks of streams. Although often credited with prehistoric origin, most were erected in medieval times, and some in later centuries. They are often situated close to a ford where carts could cross. According to the Dartmoor National Park, the word 'clapper' derives ultimately from an Anglo-Saxon word, cleaca, meaning 'bridging the stepping stones' the Oxford English Dictionary gives the intermediate Medieval Latin form clapus, claperius, "of Gaulish origin", with an initial meaning of "a pile of stones" At Wycoller there is a ford next to the bridge.
