Wastwater Screes in Golden Light

A dramatic interplay of deep shadow and sudden brilliance defines this arresting impression of Wastwater. As clouds part over the valley head, a single wedge of intense golden light pierces the gloom to transform the imposing landscape.

Massive charcoal and slate tones anchor the vast bulk of the fells, contrasting sharply with the pale, atmospheric teal of the still lake below. Heavily textured layers of warm ochre and rust capture a fleeting moment of illumination on the distant peak, while a rich, painterly finish gives the descending screes a weathered, elemental depth.

A magnificent focal point for a living room or study, bringing the majesty of the high fells indoors. Choose from our 40cm, 70cm, or 90cm square formats as a museum-standard print, gallery-wrapped canvas, or elegantly framed in black, white, or natural wood to perfectly suit your wall.
