After leaving Ullswater we drove over the Kirkstone Pass towards Windemere - you can just see the lake in the distance. What a fabulous drive through the mountains with stunning views either side. Such a shame I was driving!! This shot is taken from the top of the pass where they have a car park and viewing point. Everywhere looks so different in the sunshine!!

I was thrilled to see this on the PP this morning! Thanks for getting it there!
What a gorgeous landscape, Pam. The winding road that takes us to the distance is well placed. Do you use LR? I wonder if the graduated filter would bring out more of the sky?
@pixiemac It was a wonderful drive - I really enjoyed the views all the way through. I wanted to be taking photos!! What is the subject for the Country File competition this year? I have never entered a competition.
My husband takes part in the Fred Whitton Challenge which is a bike ride over the four passes Kirkstone, Honister, Wrynose and Hardknott (110 miles and 11,000 feet). Anything under 8 hours is considered a good ride!! Fabulous photo. Am glad you are enjoying your holiday.
@motherjane Wow we saw a cyclist on the way up and I said he must be mad!! LOL!! I couldn't even walk it yet alone ride a bike up it!! Your husband must be so fit!!
@taffy I have done as you suggested and used the graduated filter. Wasn't sure what I was doing but I think i have improved the sky a bit. What do you think?
