Description

You don't usually see many sheep together in the Lakes. In winter they are brought down from the hills to help them survive the snow. In summer they roam the mountains everywhere.

A very appealing rural scene & a fine b&w composition with a wide range of tones. If not for the wires & the cars, It could be taken for a photo from long ago...

This makes me think of the Michael Ondaatje novel: In the Skin of a Lion, even though this doesn't really have anything to do with that novel. There's a nice, rustic sense to both, and I think that's what does it. I love the details in this and the overall mood. The sheep are a nice, living touch.

You really do produce some wonderful images. This is one of those scenes that "grab" you. The hill farmers and poor sheep are having a terrible time of it this winter/spring. The house and it's setting reminds me very much of my first house in Ironbridge...picturesque and jolly cold in the winter:-)
