The Tortured Twins.
Sunset on the summit of Holmepark Fell. This plateau is exposed to the prevailing "westerly" winds sweeping in off Morecambe Bay. The amazingly resilient trees that manage to eek out an existence up her on the limestone pavement face the full force of the winds. The shapes they are forced into just add to their mystique.
The sunset accentuates the stark conditions the trees endure here and as a location it is often overlooked by the many thousands of people that race past on the nearby M6 with the fells of the Lake District drawing them in! Long may that continue.
