Bathed in light

This is the boat jetty at Derwent Water, a major lake in The English Lake District. It's normally used for tourists to board the pleasure craft which ply their trade on the lake. It was closed for two days because of the torrential rain which has left it completely submerged.

This was one of those rare occasions when something you plan actually happens, as I waited two hours in teeming rain, with myself and my gear protected by a golf umbrella, for the sun to align with the end of the jetty and the rain eased at just the right time. This is a 15 second exposure to smooth the water.
