The Howgill Fells, Cumbria
These (above) were all taken on one day in April 2007 from the top of the Howgill Fells.
The Howgills are just North of the Yorkshire Dales, and are quite unique in Britain.
They cover an area of about 40 square miles with no fences, no trees, and no habitition,
but with these curved hills and a few sheep.
Someone described them as looking like sleeping elephants.
I was there on a hazy warm day after dry weather, and being before new grass growth comes through, the grass looks quite brown.
The two sets below were taken of the Howgill Fells from a distance in April 2008.
Same time of year but very different weather - clear but cold.
The snowy ones were taken from the top of Ingleborough, to the South.
The set below was taken the day before from near the top of
Whernside.
They're about 10 and 15 miles away.
