Howgills & Yorkshire Dales, Winter
The week leading to these photos and this post has been… frustrating.
The week leading to these photos and this post has been… frustrating.
On Monday my left shoulder grew progressively stiff and painful. By the evening I was in a lot of pain and I ultimately did not get a second of sleep. Looks like I did another one of my favourite Fit-During-My-Sleep-And-Discolate-A-Limb-Whilst-Shredding-Muscles.
So most of this week has been spent fighting pain and keeping the shoulder immobilised. Apart from the constant pain and lack of sleep being exhausting, it’s also boring.
By the weekend, I’d finally got my pain levels under control and was starting to regain movement in my shoulder. Sunday arrived bright and clear, with blue skies promising a beautiful day. Lisabet took us for a drive through Sedbergh and the Yorkshire Dales, occasionally parking up for short walks and photo snaps. I really needed it.
All photos shot on my Fujifilm X-T2 using my Fujinon 23mm f/2.0. Images developed using RNI Films’ Velvia 100F emulation.
A Car Drive Around The Dales
It’s not very often that I’m stricken down with the Common Cold but it’s happened this year and has knocked me for six.
I’ve been sick since Thursday this week.

But today, the clouds and rain cleared up and the light was glorious. So Lisabet, being the godsend that she is, offered to drive us around some gorgeous scenery, just so we could get our dosage of being in nature. She’s wonderful like that. We drove from Kendal towards Sedbergh, passing the Howgills along the way and taking shots of the late afternoon light hitting them. Then we turned south from Sedbergh towards Hawes, right in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales, before driving the wonderfully scenic Blea Moor Pass back to Ingleton and home, complete with epic sunset.
