Tewet Tarn, Jan 2016

Clearing out images from my NAS drive, lots of rubbish and a few gems. This little Tarn with Blencathra in the background. I can see the opposite side of Blencathra from my house so use it to tell me what the snow conditions are and how clear the atmosphere is. Ken

That looks a bit on the chilly side with the frozen water in the shallows down in front. Nice archive find.

A little chilly. I spent dawn on the lower shoulder of Blencathra to get a blue hour shot. It wasn't great but it was very icy and I only realised it when I got out of my car and needed to fit spikes to my shoes in order to stand up. Driving back down got me into a sweat when I realised just how dangerous it was, rear wheel drive only and no chains or spikes on the tyres but many years of driving in Scotland in the winter. Ken

I like it Ken.

Driving on ice can sure be crazy Ken! Glad you got back down with no mishaps.

What a beautiful view. I like how the foreground leads into this one, and it's interesting to know that you can see the backside of that hill (mountain?) from your house.
