The Road Into The Mountains. Lowick Common

A landscape photography print from a winters drive in the Lake District, taken from Lowick common, looking up to a snow-covered Coniston old man and Dow Crag.

I’d been out photographing the deer on the fells closeby when I noticed the light start to change. It felt like the light would be better for landscapes as I headed to the stretch of road between Lowick and Coniston to photograph these bends, covered in frost with the sun setting. There wasn’t much of a sunset but the soft light helped bring out the cold weather in the photo. Everywhere had a light covering of frost or snow this day.
