Description
Straits of Riggindale from High Street by Steven Townsend
From the summit of High Street, the view north-east reveals the dramatic Straits of Riggindale—a narrow, steep-sided valley slicing between High Street and Kidsty Pike. The straits, which drop sharply toward the secluded waters of Haweswater, present a strikingly wild and remote scene, once the province of the last golden eagle in England. The view captures a quieter, more austere side of the Lake District, rich in atmosphere and solitude.
The painting is signed by the artist and beautifully framed, a true masterclass in photo realist painting capturing the essence of the landscape.
