About Ullswater
Many consider Ullswater to be the hidden gem of the Lake District and as the most beautiful of the English Lakes. It is pure and tranquil and relatively unspoilt by the tourism and commercialism that blights many other Lake District towns.
Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District, approximately 9 miles long, ¾ of a mile wide and nearly 200 feet deep. It was formed after the last ice age when a glacier scooped out the valley floor then filled with meltwater when the glacier retreated.
You’ll not find high street shops in the Ullswater Valley, or rows of trendy bars, but quaint villages, welcoming pubs and stunning scenery. From Pooley Bridge at one end, to Glenridding at the other there are a scattering of lovely villages that attract visitors from all over the world.
The ‘jewel’ of Eden
The area is very popular with fell walkers exploring some of Wainwright’s most loved mountains such as Hellvellyn and its breath taking Striding Edge. A visit to the National Trust’s, Aira Force waterfalls offers another stunning adventure, whilst a trip on the Ullswater Steamer offers something for all the family…topped off with an ice cream to finish!
Ullswater is very popular as a sailing destination, with several sailing marinas situated around the lake. The prestigious Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy is held annually on the first weekend in July. There are also facilities for diving, rowing and motorboats as well as canoeing for those more adventurous. Ullswater was the home of the world water speed record on July 23, 1955, when Donald Campbell piloted the jet-propelled hydroplane “Bluebird K7” to a speed of 202.32 mph (325.53 km/h).
We could not mention Ullswater without mentioning William Wordsworth, who was inspired to write the poem “Daffodils” after seeing daffodils growing on the shores of Ullswater. As well as many beautiful daffodils and a plethora of other stunning flora and fauna, Ullswater offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.
This photo shows the movement of the stars over a long period of time, and is created by the movement of the earth. The two sculptures were created by Ricardo Breceda. All of the illumination was done with a hand-held flashlight during the exposure, and is not a post-processing creation. No pixels were harmed in the creation of this photo. :D

Skogafoss In The Mist (2016-06-22 12:43)
Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 meters (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. This was not one of those sunny days. The mist, however, lends a beautiful mystery to the image, especially in this 2 second long exposure.
According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The story also says that the chest was found years later, but they could not grasp the chest, only getting the ring from the side of the chest. This ring was given to a local church, which in turn gave it to a museum. However, I did find the treasure, and I should be handing in my resignation to work shortly. Nikon D610/Nikkor 28-300mm. 2s f/29 ISO 200.
