An image from last month where I'd decided on the spare of the moment to drive up to Ambleside and climb up Loughrigg Fell in the dark to shoot sunrise over Windermere, as you do....

I'd got to the start of the walk a lot earlier than I thought in pitch black, which was just as well as I took a wrong turning on the climb up and had to backtrack for a while, still, I had plenty of time to get up to where I wanted to be so it wasn't a big issue.

Any one familiar with this spot will notice there is something that appears to have gone completely missing from this scene....

The mist I wanted was actually very feint and didn't hang around for long in the valley below but I still got some decent sky colour for a short amount of time so I opted for a long exposure to create some interesting cloud movement over the lake.

Not exactly the image I was after but I still like it and a great morning spent up in the hills watching the sun come up.
