I spent Coronation week (it did seem to last a week) in the Lake District. The cottage we were renting was in a great location, only a few minutes walk from Bassenthwaite Lake. The weather was the usual Lake District mixture, but better that the weather down south. It was mainly a walking holiday. I crossed another 10 Wainwrights off my list. Just 30 left to do. Naturally, I also found a little time for photography.
Only one shot from the top of a hill. I also took a few phone shots which are posted elsewhere. I liked how the cloud was sweeping along through the valley behind High Tove. The walk that day finished at a National Trust Cafe, which had the traditional confiding Robin.
The first night that offered a promising sunset, we headed to the jettys in Keswick. Sadly, that night there wasn't enough high cloud to allow the sky to properly light.
Another day, another Derwent Water jetty. This time at Brandlehow and with a much moodier sky.
No tour around Derwent Water would be complete without a stop at Ashness Bridge. There was a brief break in the cloud that nicely lit the bridge.
Finally, Bassenthwaite and the best sunset of the week which, naturally, was on the last night.
