Chasing the mist..

Despite the twists and turns in the road plus the houses, hotels, trees and just about everything imaginable trying to block our view, we kept getting glimpses of what looked like a really spectacular low lying mist/fog, whilst en route to Derwent Water last Sunday.

 

We hadn't planned on stopping before we reached Derwent Water but frustration started to set in as there was nowhere safe or legal to pull over, so we could check it out.

 

After driving around we finally managed to find somewhere to park so we could walk to the edge of Windermere and take a look.

 

Iv'e never grabbed my gear so quickly, but we were not disappointed,

 

Thick mist just seemed to hang over the lake with the landscape peeping out in the distance and the boats on the lake, shrouded in mist.

 

That was pretty special in itself, then I turned around.......and saw this.

It was the most breathtaking, impromptu scene I think we have come across.

 

Hand brake turns are becoming a frequent manoeuvre while en route to our destinations!
