Description
The word "force" is used in many parts of northern England as a synonym for "waterfall"; it comes from the old Norse word fors
The stream rises at Stybarrow Dodd at over 2300 feet and flows north easterly before turning south on an 5 mile journey to Ullswater.
Just under a mile from the lake the stream known as Aira Beck makes a 65 foot drop over what is known as Aira Force.
From there the beck makes its way over quite a number of far less dramatic but nonetheless very picturesque falls and weaves its way over craggy formations of rock.

Love the water effect! excellent choice for shutter speed!

Your capture makes the water looks soft but I know it is much more forceful than it appears. Good job turning it into a moody, dreamy scene.

Fantastic shot !. P.S never got a chance to get to Blaneau... too busy chasing a steam engine around.
