Still a lot of Fagus that hasn't turned, but enough has to give it that wonderful golden glow. Remains to be seen how much survives the snow that is on the way.

There was good colour on the Tarn Shelf today (24th), but weather wise it really was a case of "you should have been here yesterday!"

thanks Pedro.
I have found that the patch by Robert Tarn in your first picture has always been blown away first in my 5 April visits to the Shelf. It look to have not completely turned so it may well survive the current weather and still be there next week-end.
I first visited Tarn Shelf in April 2003. I was lucky enough to meet up with one of the Park Rangers on the day who directed me to the best spots for photographs. The fagus was perfect and I have not been there again when it has been as good despite 4 visits. I had a very ordinary 1.3 megapixel digital but it took good enough pictures.
This one is looking across Backhouse Tarn taken at the time:
The Park Ranger had a 70mm slide camera. I was lucky enough to get a private viewing of the slides he took on the day along with a selection of Mt Anne and Lake Rhona. They were superb.
