Arched

It was a very overcast day this one, so I'd planned to visit to Cathedral Cave in the Langdales to try and get an even exposure from inside with the light not being too bright outside, on the way there the sun was breaking in part through the cloud every now and again so I decided to set up at Slaters Bridge to see if I could catch some of the light.

 

It took a good wait to get anything here and I was joined by another photographer, I reckon it was over half an hour and hardly any light in the right place, a family came over the hill on the right and started walking towards the bridge... you know what's coming next surely... yes just as they got to the bridge and stood on it taking selfies the sun broke right through, you honestly couldn't make it up!

 

After a minute or so they moved off to the left, closely followed by the sun of course, I actually laughed and told them when they came over what had just happened, not their fault at all, just uncanny timing!

 

Thankfully it broke through again about ten minutes later this time with nobody in the shot, allowing some nice contrast with the dark clouds and sunlight, and the bridge reflected in the still water.
