I met these two walkers who seemed to have had enough of the cold wet and windy conditions up top. Photo taken on Comb Crags, as a brief sunny spell brushes Middle Tongue on the flanks of Helvellyn.
There's a good reason they decided to build a reservoir here - I got a good drenching on my first morning in the Lake District. There is something special about walking in the rain, the sound and atmosphere bringing a different life and mood to the landscape.
This is from the Binka Stone ( a large boulder) looking north. I had planned to walk the circuit of the reservoir but the path and road are closed due to landslips, so I headed up to this viewpoint and then back to the car.
My 6d had started going a bit funny but was fine after drying out. I must take a plastic bag and a cloth next time I take it out in wet conditions.

Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved (it would be nice if you left a comment too) my photos. It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.
I finally got out walking last weekend on a glorious blue sky day, although it couldn't be faulted for walking weather it didn't make for the best photos so here is another archive image from a magical day i've been dipping into quite a bit. Taken on the way down from Helvellyn in December 2016.
It was quite a climb but I was rewarded with a beautiful view. A throwback on better days :) roll on Spring
I spotted this whilst walking along the banks of Thirlmere after taking a Winter pano up on Binka Stone. The wind had caused the surface of the lake to ripple and the sunlight really illuminated the mossy growth of this tree creating a beguiling pattern.
This is not something I would ordinarily stop and photograph, but it caught my eye and when came to look at the image later on the computer it did look quite interesting. So here it is!
A trek up Raven Crag on Christmas eve with some stunning views. The mood was good but the light was poor. The trees surrounding the reservoir were like mist machines in an ever changing landscape.
A flat and drab day with no photo opportunities, I rounded a corner and was greeted by this sensational view.
A view across Thirlmere towards the Helvellyn massif showing a little bit of the greenery standing out against the winter browns and russet colours.
Thirlmere
Thirlmere on a beautiful spring morning, not many clouds in the sky but a nice wee climb to get this stunning view point.
Please feel free to share with your friends and family should you wish.

After a fascinating morning walking I stopped for a bite to eat on Binka Stone above the shores of Thirlmere. I decided to take a panorama shot before I left and this is a 6 shot stitch looking across Thirlmere towards the flanks of Helvellyn,
Another one at Thirlmere from my last visit to the Lake District. I always used to bypass Thirlmere, and I'm not sure why, but the last few times I have been in the Lake District I have made the time to stop by. Definitely got a lot more exploring to do there!
A sunny evening in June at Bridge End Farm, Thirlmere, Cumbria. A quick walk up Wren Crag to admire the view.

View from Raven Crag.. it's not quite from the summit, it's a better view than the one from the new summit viewing platform.
