Geograph - photograph every grid square

Drizzly days when the water runs off the track and drips from the trees are also ideal for greying out the background and showing the silhouette of a bare tree. Of several Hawthorns and Ash trees along the way, this one was the most aesthetically pleasing in its context, which is the bottom end of Barrowdale, a valley I've visited twice to look at the Beck, but haven't yet managed to paddle it. At this point it is some way below the path (which is a public bridleway at this point) and barely visible, but a lack of noise suggests nothing too serious in the way of rapids lie hidden down there.
