Lake District

In dramatic fashion the light shines down on Derwentwater, Cumbria Maps of the Lake District are dotted with terms bestowed by the area’s tenth century A.D. Norse settlers. Thus the district’s famed lakes are often called “tarns,” streams become “becks,” valleys are dubbed “dales,” and clearings are known as “thwaites.”

Liking this sketch. Reminded us of those now famous pen and ink shots from the beloved Lake District artist, Alfred Wainwright. It looks to be a great day in New York City for venturing out into the wilds. Follow these great explorers (consider climbing).
