Clouds mass over the Lake District Fells Encircled by fells, Scout Scar is all about vistas. On a day of clarity it's spectacular. Clouds rise up over the fells and a wet summer ends with resplendent cloudscapes. The day is still and warm with a herbal fragrance and there's a play of light through clouds which form and reform, illuminating the earth for a moment, then casting pools of shadow. Fair-weather sunlit clouds against a foil of blues. Grasshopper are loud, raven are vocal and goldfinch flit through skeletal ash-trees. Ash die-back looks stark when trees should be in full leaf.
