September one of my favourite months, though I’m always sad to see the summer end.
September is a kind of ‘transition zone’ between the golden end of the warm months and their colder counterparts that live on the edge of true winter.
For us on the southern edge of the Lake District, it’s a time when, on the right clear-skied morning, getting the dog up and out early can pay dividends in the form of clear shots with a hint of mellowness.
The incoming colder days lend a clarity to the morning sky, one that is often ‘hazed’ in warmer months.
And we’re lucky to have Arnside close by, with its rich mixtures of estuary, sandbanks and that ever-present rail viaduct; the lifeline for the folks from Barrow and Ulverston and beyond
Deep blues, clear skies and historic objects – including this tall clock that hasn’t worked for years, yet has a loyal band of supporters.
