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=
