Lake District Winter
Today’s photos were taken on my journey to and from Love the Lakes in Keswick. There had been a big snowfall overnight in the South Lakes so I arrived at Keswick via the M6 rather than through the middle. Things started to clear out once I was past Shap and what a day it turned out to be.
When I was in Hope Park today looking at frozen Derwent Water, I felt lucky. When I was at Castlerigg for the sunset (all alone), I knew I was lucky. When I got to Grasmere and was stood in an inversion which was at chest height, I felt blessed. When I got home to my family, I truly knew I was blessed. It’s a wonderful life…

Hall's Fell Ridge and the clouds are clearing from the tops. Later, a walk to Hope Park and the shores of Derwent Water...

The sky and Steel Fell. As I dropped into the Vale of Grasmere, the temperature was plummeting and the mist began to rise from the valley. At the water's edge, the inversion was at chest height giving a surreal feeling to the cold twilight.
