Friars Crag è un promontorio che sporge sulle rive del Derwentwater a pochi passi dal centro della cittadina di Keswick e da cui si può godere di un bel panorama fino alle foci di Borrowdale e all'iconico Cat Bells. Il nome deriva dai frati che portavano rifornimenti all'eremita Sant'Erberto, il quale, al loro segnale, remava partendo dalla sua isola difronte al promontorio. Nei pressi di Friars Crag c'è un monumento eretto nel 1900 in riconoscimento della prima visita dello scrittore e artista John Ruskin a Keswick nel 1824. Le parole sulla pietra recitano: "La prima cosa che ricordo di un evento della mia vita è stata quando la mia infermiera mi ha portato sulla cima di Friars Crag sul Derwentwater". Ruskin aveva cinque anni all'epoca e la sua prima vista dal Crag gli ha chiaramente lasciato un'impressione duratura. Anni dopo osservò che la vista dal Crag era una o la più bella d'Europa. Fortunatamente per noi, i punti di vista non sono cambiati nel corso degli anni e le osservazioni molto lusinghiere fatte da Ruskin a metà del XIX secolo sono vere oggi come lo erano allora. Praticamente quasi tutte le mattine presto mi sono diretto in questo luogo magico per veder di portare a casa qualche bella foto; purtroppo il cielo è stato quasi sempre coperto e inclemente! Di luce non se ne parlava proprio. Fotografare è stato molto difficile, ma raramente qualche lama di luce è filtrata ed ho cercato di raccoglierla nel miglior modo possibile. Buona visione.

A corner of paradise spared by modernity. A point of observation on beauty, which seems frozen in time and which preserves that sublime spectacle already observed by John Ruskin, whom you mentioned in the caption. Great shot, dear Francesco. Have a nice weekend.

In this case the light was good, just enough to illuminate the two trees in the foreground that accompany the view towards the lake
Congratulations
