Cumbria Contrasts

Things have changed

from bright blue

to dull grey.

Dry and –10

to drizzle

and + 7

More than a subtle contrast.

Langdales

Langdales stretching across the brilliant blue

Langdale Valley

Lingmoor casting its deep shadow over the valley.  Lending a lie to the –10 biting fingers and dulling brains.

Derwent Water

Fast forward a few days

Cloud wrapped itself round the hills,

floated over lakes,

creating statues from trees,

highlighting colours,

making landscapes myopic as it rolled ever closer in.

A ten mile stroll around Derwent.  Close, but ever changing views.
