Cairn atop Rannerdale in The Lake District - B&W Landscape Photo

I photographed this stone cairn at the summit of Rannerdale Knotts in the Lake District, Cumbria. The view from the top is always breathtaking, but I wanted to capture something more timeless — the strength and solitude of the landscape itself.

Converting this image to black and white helped strip away distraction and bring out the textures of the rocks and the contours of the fells. It felt like the perfect way to express the quiet power of the Cumbrian mountains.

For me, this photograph is about simplicity and endurance — a moment that feels both ancient and eternal, standing high above Crummock Water and Buttermere.
