A striking sight @robincooper1.bsky.social ! ☀️
Haweswater reminds us, as Ruskin so often did, of our duty to cherish the landscapes that sustain our cities as much as our spirits.

Just looking back through my pics from yesterday and realised I forgot to share this from the summit ridge of Harter Fell. Never tire of this view down Haweswater towards home. Talk about love where you live!

The image shows the exposed ruins of the "lost village" of Mardale at the bottom of Haweswater Reservoir in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. The village was submerged in the 1930s when the valley was dammed to create a reservoir to supply water to North West England. The ruins of the village including stone walls and building outlines become visible during periods of drought or low water levels when the reservoir volume drops significantly. Haweswater was a natural lake before construction of the dam began in 1929, which raised the water level by 95 feet. And to be almost twice as long at 4 miles in length. The farming community was evacuated in 1935, and most buildings were demolished before the valley was flooded. The exposed remnants include the foundations of houses, a church, and a 17th-century humpback bridge. The valley was dammed by Manchester Corporation, after it had obtained permission from the UK Parliament. The local act of Parliament was for the supply of drinking water to Manchester. However, the decision caused public outcry because the farming villages of Measand and Mardale Green would be lost when Mardale was flooded. The reservoir is now owned and managed by United Utilities. It supplies about 25% of North West England's water supply.

I find it hard to pick a favourite native #Fern species. It so often turns out to be the one that I'm looking at any given time. And so here's another firm favourite. Cystopteris fragilis, Brittle Bladder-fern.

More Fern magic from #Haweswater in the #LakeDistrict One of the more distinctive taxa of the wider Dryopteris affinis complex. Now with full species status. It forms large, untidy clumps & the indusia can be highly variable.
Narrow Male-fern, Dryopteris cambrensis
