"The Struggle" out of the gloom .

I took this dramatic shot of the "Struggle", which is the name of the top section of the road out of Ambleside up to the Kirkstone Pass, as I drove up the Pass having come through the cloud inversion engulfing the Western Lake District.

 

You can see the cloud down in the Windermere Valley with the iconic twisting Kirkstone Road descending into the murk. It was a very close call wether to post the colour version of this or the mono, but I thought the mono was slightly more dramatic. This was the first inkling that my day out in there Lakes could get interesting!
