Limited Sun

 There has been a recent spell of wild and windy weather but I reaqlly did need to get out and walk. I picked the best day possible going by the forecast but opted for a low level walk just in case the wild winds and low clouds prevented me from obtaining the references that I needed.
 The Loweswater Fells are a neat group of easily accesssible hills so that's where we headed. Conditions were not too bad and the showers in the main passed us by. There was however very strong winds, especially on the tops and today was no day to hang around to admire the views. The bonus to the winds was the fact that the clouds raced across the skies and the ocassional gap let the sun filter down. That gave me the odd chance to get a decent shot but it was near the end of the walk, just above High Nook Farm that I came back with what I think was the best photo of the day.
Low Fell
The late afternoon sun lights up the slopes of Low Fell across Loweswater. I had to wait for just the right moment to catch the best of the light and the grazing sheep added to the scene. After that it was a simple walk back to the car, a good result from a really mixed day.
