Another time, perhaps the same place

A chance to visit the pyramids in Cairo. I eagerly took it.

Would we see the Sphinx. Yes.

I remembered one of the photos my father had taken when in the RAF in the Western Desert during WWII. It was of the Sphinx and three pyramids

My photo was taken from the same vantage point I believe. Every thing there had changed since his photograph except the Sphinx and the accompanying three pyramids.

Or rather the lake, as there is only one in The Lake District (Bassenthwaite Lake). The rest are Waters, Meres or Tarns.

Autumn in The Lakes is a magical time. Mists, bright sunshine and russet red fallen leaves. Even Robin Redbreast pales in comparison. Sawrey and Hilltop are as usual special places with an innate stillness.

We are joined by a most friendly robin with a pale orange breast. His startle distance is short, perhaps a reflection of his fierce courage.

He is the natural inhabitant of Mr McGregor's garden, rather than Peter Rabbit, or even Mr McGregor.
