Blea Tarn & the Langdale Pikes
A little diversion from my recent wilder winter material.
This isn't me hankering for warm spring days (like more than a few Flickrite 'softies' who've been grumbling about the current season, & who have a cheek claiming to be keen on landscape photography when they don't embrace winter & its untouchable potential for drama), it's a case of forwarding an image that 's never likely to be considered again: I'm sure the banks around the tarn have been worn down by several inches over the years by the sheer volume of wandering photographers & probing tripod legs. The result, of course, is a wealth of far superior images on Flickr that quite simply laugh at my attempts.
If not quite spectacular, it was nonetheless a warm, gentle spring morning, & the early hour ensured complete solitude (pretty rare for this spot, I would guess).
