Sunshine and shade

Another example of that sudden burst of sunshine through dark skies. OK viewed large.

 

This was taken before we reached Lake Windermere, and due west of Whitbarrow. The pasture in front was bathed in strong sunshine, and this effect continued through the valley. On either side the land was in deep shade.

 

The mountains in the far background appeared dark, with only a small touch of snow to relieve the grey.

 

So many weather systems sweep over this corner of NW England, and the effects of light/shade are wonderful whilst they last.

 

Taken in the English Lake District, south of Lake Windermere.
