The summit cairn of Grit Fell in the Forest of Bowland. The hill in the background is Ward's Stone, the highest point in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This is a shot I took a few years ago at Crummock Water. It is one of those images that I have struggled with over time, never quite happy with the processing. This was taken as a single RAW file but the extreme contrast between foreground and sky along with a slight haze in the air proved to be quite challenging to process. I think after several attempts I am now fairly happy with this result...for now :-)
It is polar night period. It does not mean darkness, even if the sun does not rise above the horizon. The reflection of the light from the sky to the snow illuminates for many hours.
My first visit here & I've seen great work of this place by the likes of Colin Bell to name one. I headed for a high point to look across to the Langdales and recognised the spot from a great image by Matt Lethbridge. With little time to change and move before sunrise this is my take on the area. With clear sky's I knew the light wouldn't last before it became too harsh, but first off it was a vibrant red across the fell.

Not sure about this one, no real quality to the depth for me.. but at least I could see the fell tops, they disappeared shortly after this shot.
Here is a shot of the summit cairn on Place Fell, with the early sunrise light giving it a golden glow.
The view behind isn't half bad either, with the Central Lakeland Fells around Helvellyn all lit in the early light.
It was certainly worth all the effort to get up here for sunrise in these wintry conditions. I was lucky to have the able company of JB on our icy adventure, certainly wise to go accompanied in these conditions, especially when starting in the dark. The snow isn't going to last with the mild wet Atlantic weather moving in this weekend.
.....Looking South as we walk up Hallin Fell - great views all around and especially of Ullswater from the top. Typical of Cumbria the dry stone walls have a fence topping to keep the sheep - it doesn't always work!! HFF, Alan:-)
This shot is one I have considered holding off from displaying. The subject is so low key, it would almost seem like the shot would be too dark to engage a viewer; and yet I couldn't get away from the fact that the darkness of the landscape gave it some sort of enigmatic charm.
I hope that you agree, given the time to look at and explore this image, that the darkness of the scene draws you in, and carries a real sense of mystery and adventure.
Golden light touches the hills of Lingmoor Fell in the Lake District at sunrise. 🌄 The warm glow on the heather and stone walls brings out the stunning colors of the landscape. A perfect moment to pause and take in the beauty of nature.

Taken on a camping trip to the lakes. This was a reccie shot at dusk looking to Ullswater as a rainstorm approached.

Hallin Fell on a moody morning on Ullswater.
This is one of my own personal favourite images from 2014, on one of those really beautiful mornings on Ullswater.

Hallin Fell, Ullswater, Lake District, Cumbria
In the midst of the undulating terrain between the Lake district and the Yorkshire Dales there rises abruptly a compact cluster of hills, these are the Howgill fells...In appearance the fells are quite unlike the craggy mountains of Lakeland to the west or the rolling Yorkshire moors to the east: they are particularly distinctive. They are sleek and smooth and have been likened to a huddle of sleeping Elephants. Their soaring and sweeping lines are not interrupted by walls or fences above the intakes, giving a splendid upland expanse of 'Free range' walking.
Late June and the heather was already starting to flower on Lingmoor Fell in the English Lake District.

Hopefully this will be my last mobile phone photo from my hike the other day. My card reader failed for my DSLR photo transfer and a new one is due ins the post today. So in the meantime I have uploaded a few iPhone photos.
The view here shows my route from the flank of High Street, across Marsala Ill Bell and towards Harter Fell.
Looking eastward from High Street.

"Southeast the view is of classical beauty, an inspired and inspiring vision of loveliness that has escaped the publicity of picture postcards and poets' sonnets, a scene of lakes and mountains arranged to perfection".
