Kendal Mountain Film Festival.

The Kendal Mountain Film Festival has been and gone for another year, so perhaps this post is slightly out of date.  Along with the film aspect of the festival they have been running an amateur photography competition for some time now and this year it received 632 entries.  So I was chuffed to bits to have 3 of my entries shortlisted and put on display at the film festival along with about 15 other images, including this image by my friend and Kendal local Dougie. 

A full list of the entries can be found by clicking here (warning the page takes a long time to load) 

I wasn't able to make it to the awards ceremony and there has been no news posted by the organisers on who was the final winner.  There was however one image that really stood out from all the rest and that's the one below.  A unusual angle of a common sight in the Himalayas and one that fizzed and popped with energy when printed out large. 

The photographer information listed for the image only goes by 'pd walton'  Who ever they are I hope they do well.
