Birkhouse Moor

By pfheyes  
Taken near to Striding Edge on Helvellyn this morning. Lesson learned today: snow reflects light very well, even when it's an early morning sky. Smile

This is the same spot where I took an image a couple of years ago (it's in my portfolio somewhere).

Thanks for looking.

Pete

Virgin snow and beautiful light, getting the exposure so accurate here has made the difference between good and excellent. A wonderful composition looking along the wall has enhanced a great image Pete, so well done my friend.

Well done to you for getting this high so early. The sky is stunning and reflects off the sky with a beautiful glow. I could see this hanging on a large canvas!!!!
