I think we can now accept that we are unlikely to get any more snow now until the next winter. I was hoping to have one more chance to get some winter scenes in the Lakes, but hac=ve to turn my thoughts to Spring's offering's now.
So here is a look back at a glorious winters morning looking down the 100-400 lens at the Langdales from Underbarrow Scar. I had climbed above the cloud line to capture this scene. The cloud inversion providing a lovely mid ground blanker with the Western Fells of the Lake District providing a tremendous backdrop bathed in snow and light!

There is something rather special about woodland forms in the mist. It is not a genre of photography that comes easily to me, but it was rather difficult to miss the opportunity to get the long lens out and take some shots in conditions like this.

Another shot of Dunskey Castle at sunset. The light and conditions changed so much around sunset with a strong wind driving the clouds across my field of vision.
It was certainly worth the two hour drive to this location. It had been on my radar for a long time, it's just so far away from the beaten track. I was playing golf near Annan, so I took a chance of driving here afterwards. It is a wonderful location and the two and a half drive back to a hotel in Penrith felt great knowing I had at least bagged some decent images.

Another from my ramble around the Scars below Ingleborough.
Not my usual subject material, but I thought it was interesting seeing a past resident amongst its natural environment.

A series of limestone Scars line the sides of this valley all the way up to the Ribblehead Viaduct. On the West side you have the more famous Twisleton Scar, leading to the highest of the three Peaks, Whernside, which you can see on the upper left here.
On the East side is Raven Scar and the most striking of the 3 Peaks, Ingleborough, (which is well off to the right of this picture).
There is an ancient Roman Road at the foot of this scar which ran all the way along the valley floor, I'm sure the Romans must have had sentries placed on the scar tops all along this route as these cliffs would have been a great place to stage an ambush on the legions marching below!
