Mist on the Fells

As we walk up the road from Hawkshead towards Tarn Hows, I find a track that doubles back into the trees. From a clearer spot on there I get this easterly view of the early morning mist inversion over what I am sure is Esthwaite Water. The fence attracts me but the lighting brings out all the earthly colours of this wintery foreground. Only minutes later the sky was to become almost cloudless clear blue as we come to Tarn Hows itself (PiP)

Enjoy the weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to TOZ ^club

Thanks for this Gordon. Yes, one of your favourite sort of pictures here, I know. I had a laugh putting this up as I first asked ChatGPT if it recognised the lake and it told me that this was a typical Scottish Highlands scene with a small forest wooden dwelling on the left :). A lesson there perhaps -don't trust AI.
Cheers for the star.

Once again, despite this being an HFF image, I find myself unable to ignore it as it's such a beautiful scene!

Gorgeous light and a wonderful cloud inversion make this a very special image. I especially like the colours in the foreground, which are amazing!

Top quality Herb..!! ⭐️

I am so sorry to keep putting you on the spot with these photos Keith. In many ways, I really can understand you and often wish to call a halt to the Happy photo days but I fear without them my photos might end up in an empty room! - Great that you have enjoyed this so much for a star.

Hi Herb
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition
Great colours too
Soon I will get round to posting pictures from the mountain tops between Germany and Austria, looking down on the clouds, but the colours you have here make for a much nicer picture!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice week ahead, and a wonderful new year in 2026!!

Hi Peter. I am always happy when you pop along and admire my photos here. A rich collection awaited us in a very wet Lake District for this week. I look forward to your Alpine landscapes that I am sure you will do justice to.
