Description
By far the worst photo from last week's 3 day trip, but I thought the car deserved a cameo appearance as it got me up there, and it will appear again in a later photo in a sort of 'spot the car' competition. Not sure what the prize will be.... hehe....
This is the Buttermere side of Honister Pass, North Western Lake District, UK, about 10 miles from Keswick, where I usually stay.
The Romans built a fort very near here 2000 years ago, I wonder if their reasons were purely strategic, or whether they just liked the view?
EOS 20D, 17-40mm L @ 19mm, 1/50s, F6.3, ISO 100.

I have every sympathy for the poor legionaire who had to stand out on guard duty in winter. I can just hear his opinion of the view - lolol

wonderful capture and landscape! very impressive composition of the different colored mountains! seems to be a very dangerous road when looking at all the rocks beside! but don't like the car in there! ;o)

Having been away for a while, I've viewed your uploads in the wrong order! Having seen the wonderful mountains and deep valleys and now seeing the car, I imagined the thrill of driving through this beautiful scenery again. Haven't been there for quite a while, but now I want to! Thanks for this great series, Steve!
