Post 89 21/10/2016 - Evening Lights and Roaring Red Deer

Photo Blog Post 89 - Fri 21 Oct 2016

Two recent evening visits to the Park deserve sharing. The sights of a spot lit House, coloured evening skies over Manchester and Cheshire and magnificent Stags roaring at dusk present a different view from that I usually see in the daytime.

Roaring Deer, Evening Skies and City Lights - Thursday 20th October

An evening visit to Lyme Park to hear the deer rut was accompanied by some nice skies across Manchester & North Cheshire.

And here some short movies of that wonderful stag this evening at Lyme Park alternately roaring and listening. Stags all over the East of the park were making their presence known and assessing the sound of the competition.

Sorry about the focus on the last video, camera fixed on the grass in front of me and actual light level was so low I didn't notice.

House and Skies - All Lit Up - Wednesday 12th October

A late visit to Lyme Park tonight to attend a talk was accompanied by the roar of stags as the rut gets under way.
Under moody skies the spot lit house looked beautiful and trees on Cage Hill were silhouetted against the darkening sky.

The North Front is what greets modern day visitors but is actually the back door. The current access from the A6 arrived after the railways came to Disley.

Leaving later; the glow in the clouds behind is from North Cheshire and South Manchester light pollution.

Trees on Cage Hill silhouetted against the light pollution creeping up from Greater Manchester. The camera has actually increased the brightness beyond reality but the effect is the same.
