Above the clouds

Wansfell Pike, 29/11/22

A day when it was hard to pick one single photo, but that is why — for such occasions — I have my other walking blog, where I don’t submit myself to such silly rules as one pic per day. The weather conditions for a walk in the Lake District were marvellous today, not just because of the blue skies above but the clouds below, filling up the valleys all day and allowing even the most humble of mountains to float above giant lakes of whipped cream for a while. The parts of Loughrigg Fell that are on the left cannot be more than about 400 feet above sea level, at the points where they emerge from the clouds. Wansfell Pike, the prominent rise in the background, is about 1,500 feet.

One thought on “Above the clouds

    Isn’t Lake District where Wordsworth’s, “Daffodils” was composed? Your description of the place make me understand his inspiration behind the poem( it was also called, “I wandered Lonely as a Cloud”). Your post makes me truly wish to be able to visit Lake District someday.

It's always nice to hear what you think....
