Glaciated Borrowdale has many crags and crinkles.

Hike up steep glaciated sides for a cardiovascular work out.

Almost flat, with some ragged hard core lumps and bumps

Tarn at Leaves

Now providing a perfect platform for viewing those higher fells and deep valleys.

Just what I wanted to play with camera and lens

Bessyboot behind Tarn at Leaves

to try to capture some of the lovely landscape colour.

Up Combe Gill to the picturesque puddle, the Tarn at Leaves.

Light on the Langstrath Valley

The Langstrath valley showing a complete colour spectrum in green alone.  Sides deeply gorged by ever abundant rainfall.

Great Gable

Borrowdale Valley

And then, there was a pony.
