Sheltered trees, taken on the shores of Crummock Water during a gale. This one bent over to say hello.

This is normally a fairly placid lake, good for skimming stones. Sometimes though it's a wild and windy place.

Crummock Water Gale

Crummock Water Gale

I took this while battling with camera shake, against a gusting wind near Crummock Water weir. I got very wet.
Just in the distance you can see small water spouts the strong winds were whipping up out on the lake.

Scafell and Scafell Pike in cloud.

The cloud here was on its way in, not out. A poor day for capturing mountains panoramas.

Faerie House

A Faerie House

I like this particular image. The lighting and colour are quite good and you can see the Buttermere fells poking their heads up in the background. This is probably my favourite of the trip.

Hmmmm, what an odd-shaped mushroom. Rather standing to attention, don't you think?
