Newbiggin Crags

Newbiggin Crags lie about three kilometers north east of Burton-in-Kendal. It is adjacent to Farleton Fell and contains a large area of limestone pavement.
My first visit was around midday on 12th January to explore the area. The following day I returned pre-dawn to try and get some atmospheric misty sunrise shots. The mists did not happen but I was quite pleased with the pictures I did get.

13 January - Waiting for the sun to rise. This view is looking across to Ingleborough which is just visible through its cloud cover.

13 January - The misty valley did not happen so I decided to take some HDR shots on the crags. The first light of the day bathing the rocks with golden light.
