Had to go over to Shap today, this is the view looking towards Haweswater, just before getting to Shap. I think the mountain with the dip in is High Street.
@maggiemae I have just copied this extract from Wikipedia which explains a little why High Street got it's name. 'The Roman road crosses the fell on its journey between the forts at Brougham (Brocavum) near Penrith and at Ambleside (Galava). Situated in one of the quieter areas of the Lakes, the High Street range has quite gentle slopes with a flat summit plateau. It was these characteristics which persuaded Roman surveyors to build their road over the fell tops rather than through the valleys which, at the time, were densely forested and marshy thus making them susceptible to ambushes.
What beautiful scenery! I love mountains and could watch them all day!! Love how the light and shadows of the clouds and the sun and moon crosses them and changes their looks. Love that stone fence!! Fantastic composition!!! FAV!!
