A tarn (or corrie loch) is a mountain lake or pool, formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier.The word is derived from the Old Norse word tjörn meaning pond. Its more specific use as a mountain lake emerges as it is the commonly used term for all ponds in the mountainous areas of Northern England, particularly Cumbria.The early morning frost has been burned off where the sun has touched the hills.It was bitterly cold and i didn't hang about too long.

I love the way the sun is touching the hilltops. Such a pretty scene. Hope you are staying warm.

I really like how the sun lights up the scene Count B. It does look cold. Excellent editing.
