Lake District Inversion

I couldn't make it for a walk today, but I did have to drive through the Lake District. Along the way, it was clear that the whole of the southern half of the Lakes was in temperature inversion, so I did manage to stop for some roadside shots of the valleys under cloud.

The Troutbeck Valley with Troutbeck Tongue, centre.

Ambleside and Windermere from the Kirkstone Pass - interesting cloud formations.

...and closing in on the same view.

The mist sticking to the side of Wansfell from the steep road known as 'The Struggle'.

Helm Crag from Dunmail Raise, above the cloud.

Dunmail Raise.

...and from further up, the Vale of Grasmere covered in cloud.
