Blea Tarn beyond Standing Crag - Lake District. Captured a couple of months ago on the top of Standing Crag in the Lake District, which is a subsidiary summit of the Wainwright fell Ullscarf. This view overlooking the remote Blea Tarn is one of my favourites within this range of hills, especially in the summer months when the sun sets perfectly in the distance. I was very lucky with a small gap in the clouds on this occasion, allowing the sun to appear for a few minutes before disappearing behind Grisedale Pike in the distance. #bleatarn #standingcrag #ullscarf #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrictnpa #lakelandphoto #igerscumbria #igerslakedistrict #ig_countryside #rural_love #picturetokeep_nature #lakedistrictumbria #sunset #landscape_captures #sonyalpha #sonyshooters #visitthelakes #thelakelanders #fromlakelandwithlove #cumbriaguide #thecumbriaguide (at Ullscarf) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiCVBJqjPpf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blea Tarn from Standing Crag - Lake District. A fine sunset yesterday in the central Lake District, overlooking Blea Tarn from Standing Crag. This is one of my favourite 'non-Wainwright' summits in the National Park, though it is a subsidiary peak of the nearby Ullscarf which is included in Wainwright's Pictorial Guides. This crag certainly offers a more impressive vista than the parent fell though, with this aspect towards the remote water of Blea Tarn and the distant Bassenthwaite Lake being the main focus. Starting from Dob Gill car park on the shore of Thirlmere Reservoir, there is a multitude of scenery on the ascent including forests and the lovely Harrop Tarn, although the last mile or so involves some bog-trotting to say the least. For this shot I used the curving foreground rocks to frame the bottom of the tarn, and I photographed vertically to include much of the stunning clouds above. Most of the sky was blanketed in a layer of higher cloud, but a gap on the horizon provided just enough room for the sun to make a brief appearance just before dipping behind Grisedale Pike in the distance. The mountain of Skiddaw can also be seen to the right. #standingcrag #ullscarf #bleatarn #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrictnpa #unescoworldheritagesite #worldheritagesite #sunset #landscape_captures #sonyalpha #sonyshooters #lakedistrict #lakelandphoto #igerscumbria #visitthelakes #thelakelanders #fromlakelandwithlove #cumbriaguide #thecumbriaguide #ukpotd #rural_love #picturetokeep_nature #ordnancesurvey (at Ullscarf) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfa2pqNjt51/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spotlight by Pete Rowbottom, Wigan, UK Another new image and a quite unplanned one, we had decided to go up to the Lakes despite the weather Forecast being less than ideal with some heavy rain forecast, but the one thing heavy rain brings is great clouds, so the idea was to look for breaks in the weather and worst case scenario was drive around and just have a beer somewhere and some lunch... It vwas only a last minute decision to drive via the Langdales, purely as I hadn't been for ages, Blea Tarn (this location) is absolutely shot to death, you can see why as it's beautiful but it really does need still water and some real drama to bring it to life, trying to avoid shooting this popular shot too much we call it 'going into Bleahab' :-) but, passing here the sky looked great at the back over the Langdales so we decided to stop, I was going to fly the drone and get some still / video. Once at the Shoreline the scene wasn't really that good with ripples water and flat light so I just composed a shot and left the camera there on the tripod literally just incase a break came while I was flying the drone. A while afterwards and after I'd pretty much exhausted one drone battery the Langdale Pikes to rear just started to light up against the black sky so it was back to the set up camera and sure enough a few moments later they were fully illuminated, if I wasn't already set up I'd definitely have missed it... the light then faded away and it was back to full gloom once again. 100% worth stopping after all, just the little moments you want to capture that happen so fleetingly against the far larger proportion of lacklustre showings. Have a great weekend all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can visit my website here ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://flic.kr/p/2m7LEke
