Sunset...... by way of a change!

Having really enjoyed some recent sunrises we decided to have a change of direction and aim for a sunset. The weather had changed and got substantially colder resulting is a significant snowfall. As the week progressed, the snowline headed back up into the mountains and we headed to Tarn Hows for a 16:20 sunset. We got there an hour early to take advantage of the golden hour before sunset and we weren't disappointed, we were just very, very cold!

An early shot of Tarn Hows as the sun dropped towards the horizon.

The best images were to be found in the views to the north. This is looking towards Fairfield, over Loughrig and Helm Crag.

Same angle, different light.

Looking under the clouds to Helm Crag and Blencathra in the background beyond.

Then as the sun dipped towards the horizon in the southwest, some shafts of sunlight got under the clouds to illuminate Langdale Pikes in the west.

Small patches of light traversed Crinkle Crags.

And my favourite shot of the day is the last rays of sun picking out Pike O'Stickle

It wasn't just cold, but windy too. So we were very cold by the time we left, but very happy to have had some good light to capture.
