Wast Water, evening light, Lake District National Park

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

Evening light over Wast Water, in the western Lake District. When I see this photo I can't help but laugh. You see, I arrived in plenty of time to photograph the lake at sunset, but the sky was dull and overcast I was so despondent that I did something I never do; I called my wife on my mobile to pour out my sorrows. I don't recall what she said, but almost as soon as I had hung up the sky miraculously cleared and the last 30 minutes before sunset were absolutely glorious. I think there's a lesson to learned somewhere in that experience!
