Slate quarry, Elterwater
Walks from Chapel Stile to Little Langdale or along the Langdale Valley go through the slate mine above Elterwater. Here, on a crisp, cold morning frost clings to discarded pieces of slate, while in the distance the Langdale Pikes are visible through the morning haze. Every now and again a silver birch tree grows up through piles of slate. The Lake District, February.
