Tarn Hows

We have been away on a short break over the New Year - and so have the dogs. We 'sprung' them this morning and took them to a deserted Tarn Hows via the east of Coniston where they had a chilly dip in the lake, the hardy souls (or is that fools?)!

Moody Coniston Water.

Calm reflections on the lake today.

The Old Man towering above the village.

There is a bank of cloud lifting over Wetherlam to the right as the sun rises.

Wetherlam and Holme Fell from Tarn Hows.

Tarn Hows is frozen today and it is more than a little bleak in the hollow of The Tarns.

Daft dog on the ice - come here!

Looks like it is starting to thaw a bit.

Damp dogs.
