Things started looking up as it stopped rain at about 8.30 and that was the last time I saw rain all week, but at that point I thought it was going to be a wash out for the week.
“They “ say this bridge is one of the most photographed places in the lakes, and I can see why, it’s a great spot. A little stone bridge looking down a valley into Derwent water, a great view.
The is a small stone hut close by that looked great wet and with a dark sky overhead . Set up and took a few frames of that.
At that time I only had a small group of sheep staring at me, you don’t get a lot of sightseers about till midday I found. Just up the road is Surprise view a great spot to view Derwent water and Catbells fell, I’d walk up that on day three.
After I had some food and booked into my hotel and a had a afternoon nap (im getting old) I headed out to Honister pass a great drive in what was now a hot summers day.
I stopped at the bottom of a huge scree field and thought it would be a good idea to walk up the other side of the hill to photograph it, I have these great ideas that my body can’t cash in sometimes.
After getting back down with a bit of a struggle I headed Over to Buttermear and Crummock water. After a bit of a walk about and not finding anything that jumped out at me I head back and stopped off at the small church at Buttermear that looked like it was getting some great light.
It was there I found a sheep had locked its self into the small church garden after taking some mug shots of it I let it out, and it ran straight to its thirsty looking lamb.

After a hour or so just driving about I headed back to my hotel in Keswick and got an early night
