The highlight of our journey to the Lake District (in Cumbria, UK) last autumn was at Buttermere… When we visited Lake District again this time six months after, Derwent Water became the highlight with its still waters and brilliant reflections. We were lucky to get good weather during our visit. This was caught early in the morning after sunrise (at this spot)… a feast for our photographic appetites before we headed back to our B&B for our actual breakfast 🙂
Even though it is already spring in the UK, many trees have yet to go into full bloom just like this one along Crummock Water in the Lake District, Cumbria, UK. We were lucky to get some good weather heading back to Buttermere from Cockermouth and decided to make a stop by the roadside to capture this picture. I have used a polarizing filter in this case to deepen the blue of the sky.
After the beauty of Buttermere, we arrived on the same evening at Tynemouth. Tynemouth certainly did not fail to deliver photographically (even after the stunning scenery at Buttermere)! Dramatic cloud patterns along with the setting sun provided the ideal setting for this shot of historic Tynemouth Castle and Priory.
