An Old Photo - The Lake District In England

Jane Scott Cumming’s recent posts on the Yorkshire Dales, see here - Edinburgh, York and the Yorkshire Dales, brought back fond memories of the English countryside for me ...

I went on a self-drive holiday to UK covering mainly the countryside (from Land’s End at the southwestern-most point of England to Inverness in Scotland) years back in 1990 in early spring. I find that the English countryside has a unique character and atmosphere all of its own. I can’t get the right word to describe it, so suffice to say it is just so English!

This picture was taken at Great Langdale in the Lake District National Park. The fields have recovered from winter and turned green with sheep grazing on the grass, but the upper parts of the hills were still reddish-brown in colour. The weather was cool and sunny …

This photo was taken on film with a Minolta SLR camera and scanned into digital copy using a Canon film/slide scanner. The image looks grainy probably from the filmstock and the scanning.
