Cumbria in Winter
The Fourth Day of Christmas and I hiked with Jill'n'Pete (my sister and brother-in-law) in wintry conditions to the top of Lowick Fell from which the snow-covered mountains of the Coniston Range were visible to the north. Here are a few images the recollect the hike.
We climbed above the layer of mist that lurked in the valleys
As the mist thins, the steeple of Lowick Green church appears
Near the top of the fell, the tarns are locked in winter's icy grip
The fells take on an tundra-like mantle...
...but across the valley a sheltered homestead with smoke rising from a wood stove looks snug and inviting.

This all looks stunningly beautiful... what colours!!! And I think you climbed more than just a rise ;-)
Magic!
How beautiful with the snow on the hills.
Ethereal photos, Maalie!!
Looks familiar!
Beautiful. I especially like the blue sky against the stark cold mountains. Does look cold! Looks like some good exercise and fun.
Happy new year Maalie and have a pint or two on me (you did get the cash didn't you?)
Beautiful in winter white...so different from our visit this past June, which was also beautiful, in a very green way!
A Happy, and Jolly Good, New Year to you, and yours!
I like your countdown clock.
Happy New Year to you! with love from Shetlandxabbyx
Fabulous.
