The Langdale Pikes from Eltewater

We are in fact on the banks of the River Brathay as it runs out of Elter Water here. Heavy rains abound but the sun peeps out to lighten the foreground for us here. As you can imagine, I loved the brightly lit fence post here as well as the illuminance of the grass.

Enjoy the weekend.

The right place at the right time! I enjoyed a climb up the Pikes with my daughter 25 years ago.
HFF Herb. Have a great weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Loose_Grip/Pete ^club

You are so right about capturing the moment Pete. The right place and time both being essential. Although I have explored much of the Lake district I have never been a true climber or hiker of the peaks here and so, sadly have never been up the Pikes.
