The View Through My Eyes

The Autumnal Lake District

No particular rhyme or reason to these shots. They are simply the one's I liked best from this weekend's walking trip to the Lake District. (They are best appreciated at full-size, which you can view by clicking on them.)



Firstly, sun on the slopes of Helvellyn on Saturday morning.


Sheep may safely graze; a view near Thirlmere.


The slightly misty air bleaches the colours in the distance, but it's definitely an autumnal palette.


A view along the sunny valley floor towards the overcast hills in the distance.


During lunch we watched a group of climbers on a nearby crag. Here you see a couple of them after they achieved the summit.


I just thought it was a pretty view. Taken on the lower slopes of Helvellyn looking towards Thirlmere.


Another view from the base of Helvellyn, this time looking north(ish) towards Skiddaw.




A somewhat brooding view accross Thirlmere in the late afternoon.


Sunday morning was misty and sunny as we drove south towards Kendal.


And finally, a view north from the eastern side of Windermere.
