We have just spent a week in Scotland. We broke our Journey up there at a B&B very near Castlerigg. Although there had been light on the surrounding peaks, this was the first direct light on the stones as the sun cleared the ridge to my right. I like the light, shadows and sky, and hope you do too.

EDIT: 9pm (ish) Following several comments suggesting a Pano crop, I have uploaded a panoramic version as V2. Unfortunately, as V1 was not uploaded as a Panoramic image, V2 is limited to 1000 pixels wide.

Thanks Darren. I considered a panoramic crop, but, on balance, didn't like losing the big sky. Smile

Beautiful light Nigel.
Certainly a better start to the day than we experienced in Cornwall, though thankfully tje sun did break through and the rest of the day was warm and sunny.

Excellent shot. What a way to start the day
Must say I'm definitely on the side of the pano crop but at the same time agree with you on keeping the sky
Go to the Lakes regularly but still gotta do Castlerigg

Thanks Dave. For all those expressing a preference for a Pano version, I have just uploaded one as V2. I can see where you are all coming from, and I do like it too.
