Carved by Ice and Fire [ Explored - thank you ! ]

The fells of the Lake District are ancient indeed. The rounded, muscular mountains seen here were carved by huge glaciers, roughly 3 million years ago. The craggier hills are, I read, youngsters, forged by volcanoes and earthquakes a mere 2,500 years ago.

I photographed these ancient fells while walking from Rydal Water until we could see Grasmere curving down below us. A long way to walk (for me!), but worth it for the magnificent views.

 

Thank you as always for your kind comments, faves and invites - hope you like this.
