The third volume in the series constitutes a collection of photos of the skies above the Mallerstang valley in Cumbria, England (and therefore also joins the collection of Mallerstang photo books).    The book can be previewed for free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blurb.co.uk\/b\/12379282-boring-postcards-3\">here<\/a>.  The introduction to the book reads:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This third volume of Boring Postcard images displays the skies of the Mallerstang Valley, they also contain some of the features of the valley: the Nab on Wild Board Fell; the cairns on Mallstang Edge; the Mary Bourne sculpture called the Water Cut; Lammerside and Pendragon Castles; the sheep of the valley.   In doing so, however, it allows the enormous variety of (not so boring) Mallerstang Skies that I have recorded over the years to be shown, for winter high pressure blues, to summer cumulus, to the storm clouds that sweep in from the West; the Helm Cloud cascading down Mallerstang Edge from the East; some spectacular sunsets; and some of the fifty shades of grey that are all too frequent in Mallerstang Skies.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book in the Boring Postcards series has just been published on Blurb.co.uk.
