Skiddaw and Little Man - Lake District.

We've been treated to some very nice winter conditions here in Cumbria over the last week or so; with fog, snow and ice and cloud inversions. Got a few more sunrises and sunsets planned throughout December on my days off so I'm hoping the season continues as it is now.

This image was captured on the summit of Carrock Fell, looking towards the snow-capped gentle giant of Skiddaw and the subsidiary summit of Little Man. I really liked how the freezing fog was creeping up the valley below, with just a glimpse of the River Caldew through the clag.

Ullock Pike - Lake District.

Happy December everyone!

Positively looking forward to conditions like this materialising over the next few months as I'm definitely feeling the transition from Autumn to Winter in the air now.

This picture was captured on a December day a couple of years ago on the slopes of Sale Fell looking towards Ullock Pike. Usually the lake of Bassenthwaite is visible from this point, but on this occasion it was completely blanketed in a sea of fog. Additionally, from this angle Ullock Pike normally blends into the backdrop as it is a subsidiary summit of the larger Skiddaw mountain which sits directly behind. However, here I really liked how Ullock Pike itself wasn't completely dusted with snow, so the dark slopes contrasted against the snow-capped parent fell of Skiddaw beyond.

Valentine Cameron Prinsep, Mary Wyndham (1870)

A portrait of eight-year-old Mary in Cumberland by the Wyndhams’ friend Val Prinsep, in the flat, chalky style characteristic of their artistic circle, shows a tall, round-eyed beautiful child. In wide straw hat and loose mustard yellow dress, she gazes directly at the viewer, bundling in her skirts armfuls of flowers. One of Mary’s earliest childhood adventures was scrambling after her father through thick heather up Skiddaw, the mountain dominating the Cumbrian skyline, with a trail of dogs in search of grouse; then sleeping overnight in a little lodge perched on the mountainside. In adulthood, Mary wrote lyrically of “the club & stag, the moss, the oak & beech fern, bog myrtle, & grass of Parnassus — Skiddaw in his splendid majesty — covered with ‘purple patches’ (of heather) with deep greens & russet reds & swept by the shadows of the clouds — my heart leaps up — when I behold — Skiddaw — against the sky...” Mary believed her Cumberland childhood had made her a lifelong “pagan,” fearlessly finding freedom in wildness. She mourned “beloved Isel” (Isel Hall being the Elizabethan manor to which the family moved from Cockermouth Castle in 1870) when the Wyndhams finally gave it up in 1876. Ever after, Cumberland was a lost Arcadia to her. — Claudia Renton, Those Wild Wyndhams
