Another day in the lakes
These images wouldnt upload, finally worked out they were too big and had to downsize them….still learning..LOL
Just loved the first two taken at the far end of Lake Coniston, the view was captivating, almost haunting.. This is my favourite area of the Lake District, perhaps because of the history, Donald Campbell http://www.ruskinmuseum.com/campbell.htm and John Ruskin, although we didnt make time to visit Brantwood House on this trip, I remember visiting some years ago when I lived in the area and the view of the lake was beautiful, all those great poets and writers who visited must have found a haven for peace and creativity.
The others are views of the Old Man of Coniston http://www.walkscene.co.uk/England/Cumbria/Coniston1.htm , once climbed, never forgotten. Lots of slate and shingle making it a bit tricky in some places, but at one point you look back down onto the most beautifully coloured tarn, waters of blues and greens because of traces of copper in the mines around there
Ahh Roll on summertime..
