Troutbeck Hut Shoot

The old derelict Hut above the Troutbeck Valley has such an amazing vantage point above this wild and unspoilt valley. A location I have visited several times before at various time of year. However I feel this is probably my most successful visit in terms of what I managed to capture.

Hart Crag above Brotherswater as I start to climb the Kirkstone Pass from Ullswater.

Looking down towards Windermere form the Kirkstone Pass.

The Derelict Shepherd hut above the Troutbeck Valley. An exercise in composition to follow.

John Bell’ Banner, I wonder what that’s all about…..

I’ve put together a collection of my Lake District Landscape Photographs that are now available for purchase as Gallery quality framed prints here.

Kirkstone Hut

Every time I drive up the Kirkstone Pass I take a look at this wonderful building. What a shame it has fallen into this state. Or maybe it shows more character for times gone by than a modern building in the Landscape. Either way it has the most enviable position. I shall continue to take time to capture this fascinating scene and hopefully one day I will capture a really strong image from here.

The Black and White tone of this image suit the scene in my opinion.

What an amazing outlook.

Locals…

I don’t think you can see another building from this one. Such a great outlook.

Can you imagine what it would be like if this building good receive the Grand Designs treatment. I can, every time I pass it by. I could happily live here….
