Photos: Through Martin's eyes I

This is Martin (by Derwentwater). He loves photography.

This is Marcela (at the Britannia Inn, Elterwater: http://www.britinn.net/ ). She likes travelling with her son because she sees things from a different perspective.

This is Martin and Marcela on one of our trips (on Arnside Knott:

Hardraw Force: Heraclitus said: 'You can never step into the same river; for new waters are always flowing on to you'. The same seems to apply to waterfalls...This time there was a rainbow at Hardraw and it looked completely different from all previous visits. It was magical...
