Watching the Passing Snow

A snowstorm blows over and around the craggy fells at the head of Longsleddale. Pockets of spot lighting from the sun traced around the contours of the valley. I clambered up the eastern side of the valley to find compositions whilst this gorgeous light was happening. Thankfully, around this part of Longsleddale, one can find lots of glacial erratics and other craggy outcrops to play around with. Whilst also making sure I don’t disturb the sheep. =)

Those Irresistible Curves

During my recent jaunt around the head of Longsleddale, I came back down from the fellside onto the track and once again was arrested by this view towards the snowy crags, the river sprint meandering with the stone walls following its path. I couldn’t resist another shot. =)
