A first glimpse of Loweswater

As we start this day out, we are greeted by these beautiful 'Belted Galloway' cows as we approach Loweswater in our English Lake District. Of course the weather is quite typical of this area and we have had to postpone this walk till later in the day as it was raining so hard earlier. We spoke to the framer, who owned these cows, and apparently they had only been introduced into this field moments before I took this, in fact the very small herd of around twelve cows had only just arrived from the county of Staffordshire the day before.They must be better suited to this area as the Scottish county of Galloway can be seen in the distance higher and behind me about 30 miles away across the Solway Firth.

Enjoy full size.
