A fence on Crummock Water

A quick return to my August 2020 trip to the Lake District with this one. A miserable day for walking but these scenes take my attention. Always funny to see these fences going way into the lake. I imagine that a cow could easily wade or swam around it but…
Fells: Grasmoor (852m) on the left, with Rannerdale Knots (355m) on the right.
Enjoy full size.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Rosa -we get lots of chances (too many) of taking photos in these conditions up here, especially compared with your many hours of sunshine and heat but that does make for some interesting shots too. Glad you liked this one.

A great deal of scenes in this type of weather in the Lakes Carol - also in Scotland and Oldham (but we have more of a constant greyness without character). Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Herb
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition, especially the log..
The other week I saw an escaped bull simply demolish a very substantial fence which had been put there to keep him under control... This one wouldn't last a few seconds!!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

Glad you enjoyed this Peter. Yes, bulls can be devilishly quick, powerful and downright dangerous. I used to go without a thought through fields with a big bull but after hearing about a number of near fatalities, I do a double take now. Know what you mean about this fence :)

Hello Herb. Thanks for your encouragement…..and for this lovely virtual tourist experience. I have always thought the same about these fences into lakes…had visions of wading cows…
It looks a bit like the glum weather we had in the Lake District….misty and pluvial!
Hope you enjoy your Sunday…D

3 years ago.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Diana Australis ^club

Hi and good to see you again Diane. The lakes have got to be made somehow and the clouds give us a clue. I have seen once, cows going into the water near one of this kind of fence but they would not go all the way around it. As you say good for photos though.

Keep safe from that dreaded Pandemic over in your part of Aus. Herb

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Marta Wojtkowska ^club

Hello Marta. yes I have seen nature films with whole herds of cows swimming great rivers and so like most animals they swim OK. I suppose they do not really like to do so though. We saw some beautiful lakes on our visit to Poland a few years back now.

Keep safe. Herbert
