Obvious to Ancients.

I’ve shot a few valleys now in the Lake District, but there’s something… different about Kentmere. It’s much more round an open, which has given to the possibility of settlements. The mountains that surround the valley are more craggy and there are giant boulders dotted around the landscape everywhere. It seems like a wonderful place to live, and it’s clear that early humans figured this out too; recent archaeological studies in the valley have discovered evidence of habitation going back to at least 4,000BC. =)
Cumbria’s Milford. 

You are at Brothers Water, just off Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District of Cumbria. =)

I’ve been dying to shoot around this lake for ages, knowing the views of the mountains that surround it. In fact, from its northern shore from where this photo was taken, you get a clear sight of the sharp peaks of three distinct fells (“fell” is North England’s word for mountain), and puts me in mind of Trey Ratcliff’s shots of Milford Sound in New Zealand. In fact, standing around the shore of Brothers Water, you are surrounded by the mountains of Kirkstone Pass, a wonderful feeling indeed, especially when the sun is setting, casting golden light on the peaks of the mountains that glitters and glows from the water. =)
