The brooding fells
The fells of the Lake District are ancient. The rounded, muscular mountains seen here were carved by huge glaciers, roughly 3 million years ago. The craggier hills are the result of volcanoes and young, by comparison. I photographed these ancient fells while walking from Rydal Water to Grasmere curving down below us. The views were magnificent and I felt compelled to paint this one as the cloud moved in and the landscape seemed to be brooding ... watching us.
Thank you as always for your kind comments, faves and invites - hope you like this.
