Hello my name is Roy Jackson

I am now 66yrs old but feel like 40!!. I live in the North East of England.  The Angle of the North is just 10 minutes walk away to the north of my home.  I retired early some 10years ago and spend a great deal of my time in my garden.  To relax my wife and I often drive over to the Lake District where we have stayed many times for our holidays.  We are really in love with that area. I think that our photographs will prove that. I think that my favourate area is that surrounding Ullswater, but Grasmere and Derentwater come very close.  I like Windermere but it is very crowded and commercial now.

I am really pleased that you like my photos, mind you when you have been taking pictures for as long as i have you are bound to fet one of two decent ones.  I tend to take numerous pictures in the same area, hoping that at least a few are ok.  That is the beauty of digital pictures.  My wife Lilian who has also submitted pictures to the site, is far more careful.  She take a lot of time before she takes a picture, that way she fewer pictures but gets beter results.  I have a many pictures on film that i am starting to scanvinto the computer. Its a long winded job mind.
