Haweswater is the most easterly and remote of the Lakes in Cumbria. It was controversially dammed in 1929 to help provide water for the conurbations around the Manchester area. In the process, two villages were flooded and their inhabitants moved elsewhere. When the water is low, remnants of the villages can still be seen. Haweswater is an RSPB Reserve and if you click on the link, you can find out a bit more about this beautiful area.

How interesting about the eagle. Too bad a female can't be brought in for the lone male in an effort to continue the species. I'm glad you saw it at all. That stone wall is so beautiful and I remember seeing them running up the hillsides in Wales.
Beautiful scenic shots Jen.
The Goosander effect is brilliant.
Wow Jen this is just a beautiful place. I love your images of the "meteor shower" and reflections! The scenery is stunning and of course I LOVE the rock wall! Thanks so much for taking us along!
All those stones and rocks Jen! CH would be in heaven. Beautiful area and would never have gotten to know about it without your great posts! The Lake District is just an awesome place and calls to me. Sad about the beautiful Eagle. Jen I answered about the Ooey Gooey back on my blog. Have a great weekend Wren!
What gorgeous country - so evocative. What a wonderful trip. How far did you walk, do you think?
Hi Mary, I suggested that to the RSPB volunteers at the watchpoint, but I guess it isn't that easy. There are quite a few Golden Eagles up in Scotland, but just this one in England.
Hi Roy, glad you liked that, it was wonderful to watch them even if they were quite distant!
Hi Evie, glad you liked it. It's definitely a place I want to go back to sometime.
Hi there Pix, does CH have a 'thing' about rocks then? I'd forgotten. (-:
Hi Christine, our Lake District is probably the nearest I can get to your wonderful Mission Mountains for scenery. I guess we walked maybe 5 miles in total, not too much of a yomp! (-:
Stunning location..thanks for sharing these images Jen. As for te dry stone walls..just great.
Jen yeah he loves to build rock walls around all kinds of things outside :) It's kinda of a joke in the family and here at the house.
Hi Jen, lovely posts, such a shame that no female goldie has come wandering south.
beautiful capture; congratulations
