Buttermere blues

Explore #2 20/08/2020

 

Buttermere blues - A blue canoe sits motionless on the shoreline of Buttermere under a blue sky peppered with cloud.

 

As a peaceful dawn breaks across the lake with near perfect reflections of first light catching Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks, the faint layer of mist just skirting above the water further enhances the calm mood of daybreak.

 

The unique opportunity of seeing the canoe seemingly pointing at the iconic Sentinels, or Buttermere pines, was not to be missed, adding a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity to this already famous scene.
