Walking in the Lake District

The weather forecast was for heavy showers today so I planned a couple of short walks up near Thirlmere in between them.

One if the most useful gadgets I carry when walking is the dry bag for my iphone. With it I can take photos in really bad weather – although sometimes the quality of the image does drop with rain on the case or light catching on the extra plastic in front of the lens.

There is a sponge pad inside the case that helps squeeze the air out of the case and the small vacuum it causes pulls the plastic tight over the camera lens, which helps with image quality.

So here are some of my rain images from today – and one or two brighter ones.

An Lochan Uaine

I drove out to Loch Morlich today and then walked out to a quiet loch I know An Lochan Uaine. As I was leaving the car it snowed just a little and then occasional during the walk there were other short showers but nothing that came close to settling.

This loch is a great place to stop for lunch. Since I was there last a seating area has been built with a great view.
