Default Reminiscing about warmer weather

As the title suggests i'm starting to dream of warmer weather (need to keep my eye on Jennies posts to remind me what the sun and vibrant colours look like...)

This image was taken in the Peak District in near Jacobs Ladder (beautiful place for a spring/summer time walk)... It sort of reminds me of teh Windows XP background...

Good landscape shot, and yes, it does remind me of the standard Windows XP background. Looks like a very cool location, I'd love to visit England someday!

Hi Chiwalatta, yes it does have the same look as the XP background and it really does give the look of a lovely summer day and it can't come soon enought. Thanks for the reminder. Looking outside, it is a very welcome photograph.

Dave.

Maybe this is where they took the shot for the actual XP background? :O

But great capture!
