Above Crag Lough, being reminded of Samuel Palmer's shining landscapes ...



We were above Crag Lough, near Highshield Crags - I was sunburnt and happy - 

I imagined myself in one of Samuel Palmer's shining landscapes - 

Beyond the dark blue lake, bright moorland stretched northwards to low wooded hills - 

Two small skiffs were moored close to the shore of the lake - 

Swans flew over the calm water - 

Perhaps, I thought, I might learn to fish - I could return here, to cast my line one dream filled afternoon -
