I could have spent all morning out there but duty called 😉

We dropped down Honister Pass and the light was changing all the time with clouds rolling across the fell tops, near the bottom of the pass we parked up to give Hugo a bit of fresh air and a wander about as we did so the light kept breaking through the cloud and hitting High Crag and High Stile, so I took a few photographs. This is the one I particularly liked from the day and decided to make a print of it (it’ll be available as a limited edition print soon).

Anyway, I’ve been working on this Lake District landscape for a while now, and I’m calling it finished 😉 actually I’m calling it finished until I decide whether to do any more to it or not.
