A cool morning up on Scout Scar, with views all around in the mist.

I picked out these three trees near Cold Harbour and Parkspring Wood. The mist was mesmerising for most of the morning.

Kelly Hall Tarn at sunset is always an option on my way back from the Lakes. And so it was on this day out with John Bleakley,

We had enjoyed a sunrise at Tewet Tarn earlier and this was the last shot of the day as we left KHT. I was quite pleased how it came out as it was an impromptu hand held shot with the Z7ii.

I did get some decent images from the other side of the Tarn with the Old Man of Coniston as a backdrop, with the new Z8 on its first outing. More to come from here in due course.

Lyth Valley woodland bathed in misty light.

This was shot from the summit of Scout Crag with the long lens as an inversion dissipated with the rising sun.

An eerie view of the summit of Scout Scar. Mist was rolling over the top and that sort of emphasised the sorry state of the Ash trees scattered all over this high plateau.

I spotted these two early morning walkers heading South into the mist as it rolled up and over from the Lyth Valley.

Derwentwater lies icy cold and still beneath the snow clad fells of the Western Lake District.

I had been up on this ridge the previous winter, but this year it was like an alpine walk with deep crisp snow crunching underneath my spikes. I thought it would make a great vantage point and lunch spot for John Bleakley, who had not had the pleasure of the views along Walla Crag before.

So we ploughed along the snowy ridge line, surprised to see we had quite a few fellow walkers on the summit of Lady's Rake, where I took this pano, before moving on to have a spot of lunch all alone on top of Falcon Crag.
