Catching up on some editing from a weekend away in the lakes with my wife. We stopped at a very nice place in the village, but not much opportunity for photography.
There are some lovely views across Grasmere, but the roads are so busy at weekends now in the lakes with virtually zero opportunity to park, so I have never really had the opportunity to stop and get the camera out.
I thought I would just try driving up the little road on the opposite side of the lake in the vain of being lucky enough to sn**ch 10 minutes somewhere near the lakeside, but all was looking grim until I found a grass verge, just ok for a quick 5-minute stop and stumbled on this lovely scene with the boats and jetty, like I’d planned it all along.
Photography fix satisfied until next time

A failed attempt to capture one of the fantastic sunset skies we have had this week in Runcorn, I set off way too late again, so I thought I would have a play with light trails on the old bridge.
It’s frustrating that when you do want lots of traffic on the bridge, there is none, and it’s a patient and cold wait for the right moment. You do get traffic and the colours change at the wrong time.
It is an amazing structure and it was nice to capture some different angles.
I did get asked whether I was the police with a speed camera, and then if I was the BBC news, perhaps I should have yes for a laugh.
