Revisiting Old Ground...

[endlessrarities]

There seems to be some sort of crisis unfolding just round the corner - two fire engines, a Scottish Ambulance Service Incident Response vehicle and an ambulance have not long since zoomed up the road.  Rather than do a bit of ghoulish snooping to see what sort of miseries are unfolding in the neighbourhood, I thought I'd post my final set of Lake

Nice pictures! I particularly like the last one with the interesting shaped rocks. The hills look very snowy for the time of year -- or does the Lake District often have late snow? Though having said that, we've just driven back from South Wales this morning and there was lots of snow on the Beacons.

It varies, I suppose. We've been going to the Lakes at this time of year six years now, and we've seen snow twice, though this is the first time I've seen it actually snowing. I believe it's had fresh snowfall this last week, too.

But this has been a really long winter...

Gorgeous! Especially that last shot.

Such an empty landscape - an increasingly rare thing in this country. Makes me wish my knees were up to that sort of terrain...

It's really rare to see the Lake District so devoid of people, too. There were quite a few folk out that day, and it's a really popular walk, too, but there was still ample opportunity to escape the crowds!

Gorgeous pictures! I especially like that last one. It's true about some landscapes looking different depending on the conditions. There are places around here that I've photographed many times but they never look quite the same.

You can say what you like about the good ole Scottish weather (and the northern English weather, too!!) but it does mean that the landscape's constantly changing. Which means that the scenery is never boring!

Do any deer frequent these hills ? They look rather barren.

I haven't seen any in the hills. I've seen roe deer and, possibly, muntjac at low levels, but they tend to lurk in wooded areas, I think. It's quite unlike the Scottish highlands, where the red deer haunt the high moorland areas.

Very dramatic. Especially the first and the last ones.
