Snowy backdrop

The hills in the background are the lake district hills and the sheep in the foreground are Herdwicks.

This is gorgeous - and looks very much like the South Island of NZ.

@peterlgrave @dide @hermann @nadia_mt @tosee @ingrid_marianna @julienne1 @snowy Thank you all for your comments. It was quite a nice day where I took this from but I have no doubt it would be different on the hills. Dianne, we were in Southern Ireland in November and I commented that many of the views were very much like here. Julienne and Diana, Herdwicks are one of my favourite sheep breeds.

Beautiful scene.
Lovely shot

[Ann Williams]

Love how the landscape turns from green to brown and then the snow on the hills. The sheep must be hardy to survive here.

@dizzyd @flowerfairyann Thank you both for your comments. Ann the Herdwick sheep are well known for their hardiness.
