Tree Time

 

See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt - Parks and Gardens visiting National Parks

SJ Lamorna Birch travelled the length of England and Scotland from his home in Cornwall to paint travel posters for LMS (London, Midlands and Scottish) Railways. This view of Loughrigg Tarn was painted c1925. One can walk around the tarn and is one of the 'Miles without Stiles' walks in the Lake District National Park.
 

Another 'Miles without Stiles' walk is around Tarn Hows and is a very popular walk with fine views.

"For rest and quiet imaginings"... I love the idea!

The purple in the first painting is something we don't see here. Finding hills more challenging, I like the idea of "quiet imaginings" on a flat trail.

That first one is gorgeous. The sunny walk though looks ideal.

These postcards are all beautiful views of parks, water, and relaxation.
