It’s a steep climb from Kendal’s town centre up to the old castle that still stands guard over this ancient town.
Once there, you are greeted with 360 degrees of lovely landscape, ranging from the north end of Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland hills. Just to the north-east lie the less visited Howgills. I always glance across, as the view of hills and dales is spectacular.
On the morning I took the opening shot, a few days ago, my attention was grabbed by the wildest looking cloud patterns I’d ever seen.
To the best of my knowledge, it wasn’t a storm… But it was one of the most surprising and mesmerising skies.
Here’s a shot of the castle, for completeness. Much of it is still standing and well worth a visit – as long as you don’t mind a steep and often muddy ascent.

I love the ruins of the castle, but those skies take my breath away…

Very dramatic, Steve. A lot of rain in those clouds all the same, by the look of them.
