Bowfell in cloud, The Band right. 14 January 2017 When the sun goes down on a January snowscape the temperature falls fast and the sight of a distant farmstead gleaming white is comforting. Perhaps that's why I'm drawn to an isolated farm such as this one below The Band, the ridge coming off Bowfell and emerging from cloud. For hundreds of years the farmstead has meant sanctuary, respite from the winter weather. This morning the fells looked magical under snow and cloud, sunlight and shadow picking out the architecture of the mountains, contour and sharp arête. I stood gazing as cloudscape and light was constantly changing. Here's a sequence of the images I took.
