Tewet Tarn

[Ken Rennie]

I get a little envious of the beautiful images of vast landscapes that are regularly posted here with huge mountains, lakes and rivers where, it would appear, you get dependable snowfall. Here in Cumbria we have small hills and patchy snowfall apart from the rare occasions where it really snows and the country grinds to a halt beacause we lack the infrastructure to deal with any more than 4 inches of snow. Jealousy over, this is Tewet Tarn about 20 miles from home. A Tarn is a small glaciated lake and is another of the many Norse words that we use here. One of these days I will get here with good snow and good light but until then this is my favourite image. The hill at the back is Blencathra and despite its small size has a few tricky ways up.

You may not get much snow but you certainly have the ice as seen here in the Tarn. Nicely framed shot.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nicely done.

This is really cool Ken. I like that snow on the hill and the ice in the tarn. A very pleasing image.

It's funny how we all can be a bit wistful for another location. I get quite jealous for all of those old castles and buildings in your part of the world, we have absolutely nothing here that compares to that. For myself where I live, since I am in SoCal, I don't ever get snow, it's mainly sunny and 70 degrees year round. I can get to snow, but it's a couple of hour drive in the winter at a minimum.

For such a rugged winter scene, I'm enjoying the soft shape and the pastel colors. Well done.

The brightness really gives me the feeling of a cold winter morning.

What is that snow you speak of? We don't get that here!

 

[Bob Denton]

This looks cold

Of course I forget that USA is almost a continent and the weather varies widely even ignoring Hawaii and Alaska. My thoughts go out to the people caught in the fires in California and hope that the loss of life and loss of homes and the environment are at an end. Ken
