England In Photos: Cumbria - Part III

We got a new camera this past weekend, the one we had been using wasn't ours and had broken pixels in the viewer...but never mind that. We took a trip to Mersea Island to take photos this past Saturday, which failed due to confusing road diversions; after nearly three hours of a trip that should have taken 20 minutes we got to the island only to find the camera wasn't working, even though we had tested it when we got in the car. So we ended up accomplishing nothing, and only taking one photo with our cellphone, and returning to one of the stores to exchange it. Nearly ten hours later we were frustrated.

Thankfully we have a backlog of photos from the weekend prior, when we went to visit Kerry in Cumbria.

Part three of the photo series of Cumbria, England.

These are photos of the River Eden Valley, with Mount Ida across the the countryside, as well as the surrounding are just outside of Kirby Stephen. They represent two separate days.

Following this series of photos we'll have one more set...because castles! And history. Because it's more fun to know what your looking at with a little information. Or is that just us?

England In Photos: Cumbria - Part 1

These photos correspond with our trip to Cumbria to visit friend Kerry Stott, the weekend of March 10th, 2012.  The first entry about the trip can be found on our other blog: A Weekend With The Stotts.

Obviously taking hundreds of pictures means we have to do more than one photo entry, this will be the first of at least two, probably three, as we write about what we saw, and mix it with a little interesting history.
