Picture of the day - October 3, 2008

"Follow the red brick road..."

Photo courtesy of Paul Sparks. Today's picture by photographer Paul Sparks features a gorgeous mountain landscape from the Lake District of northwest England, a region dotted with lakes and mountains which together make for some of the most scenic views on the planet. Here are a few words from Mr. Sparks about the image: "This picture was taken by Crummock Water in the Lake District of the United Kingdom. The path of sand stone has been worn away with many walkers hooves creating a reddish effect. The stream has just come from a waterfall called Scale Force. Most people photograph the waterfall, but I thought the opposite direction looked far more inviting."  --Paul Sparks Yes, quite inviting indeed Paul!
