Gathering rain clouds over the Langdale Pikes, Cumbria, England

            Alfred Wainwright described the Langdale Pikes as, "No mountain profile arrests and excites the attention more than that of the Langdale Pikes and no mountain group better illustrates the dramatic appeal of a sudden rising of the vertical from the horizontal; the full height from valley to summit is revealed at a glance in one simple abrupt upsurge to all travellers on the distant shore of Windermere and, more intimately, on the beautiful approach along Great Langdale. Nor is the appeal visual only: that steep ladder to heaven stirs the imagination, and even the emotions, and this is especially so whenever the towering peaks come into view suddenly and unexpectedly..." 

Many thanks for the invitations to "In Explore", "Perspective 2019" & "Golden Landscape, Only The Best" and for the comments received.
