And everything under the sun - a photo on Flickriver

While I've got quite a lot of new images to post up from recent trips I thought I'll keep those back after finding several from previous trips while transferring files around, numerous ones unprocessed including this from Buttermere at dawn, it seemed a bit criminal to keep this gathering dust at the expense of new stuff.

I remember this was a particularly good morning, not only for light but for the lake being perfect for reflections long enough to take your images, it can be a massive pain when you start a sequence here only to get ripples appearing half way through, then it's delete, and back to the start again to wait for hopefully another calm spell, which may never appear, or if it does the light may be flat...

This one was shot a good while after sunrise with the light hitting Fleetwith Pike high up before cascading down illuminating Haystacks and onto the sides of Red Pike which form an arrow leading down the lonely Char Hut (fishing hut) on the shoreline, I always get a bit fed up when you get plain skies in the lakes but it totally makes up for it when you can get totally flat water with nice light, and thus you can create a nice wide symmetrical image, sends your eyes a bit squiffy if you look at the horizon line...

I couldn't think of an image title so just I've just nicked one of the lyrics off the last track on Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, which just happened to be on.
