Blea Tarn below Standing Crag - Lake District. A fiery sunset the other evening in the Central Fells of the Lake District. Following on from my previous post; not long after the sun disappeared over the horizon I quickly changed locations to a nearby rocky outcrop as the sky suddenly went totally crazy. The spectacle lasted for absolutely ages, and there were even remnants of the afterglow over an hour later on the drive back home north. Here, the large remote water of Blea Tarn can be seen from Standing Crag; a subsidiary summit of the parent fell Ullscarf. I had been eyeing up this location for a while, and had visited a few times during the day, but this was my first sunset expedition so I was pretty chuffed to experience this on my first attempt. There are 3 Blea Tarns in the National Park, but this is the largest and least visited of them all. The distant silhouetted mountain skyline includes a few famous peaks including Grisedale Pike and Skiddaw, and Bassenthwaite Lake can also be seen in the distance. #lakedistrict #lakedistrictnpa #lakedistrictnationalpark #visitthelakes #thelakelanders #fromlakelandwithlove #cumbriaguide #thecumbriaguide #ukpotd #sunset #lakelandphoto #bleatarn #igerscumbria #standingcrag #ullscarf #landscape_captures #sonyalpha #sonyshooters #picturetokeep_nature #uk_scenery #rural_love #onelakedistrict #theplacetobe #lostinthelakedistrict (at Ullscarf) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfeY3_DDi0L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
