There was an excellent sunrise this morning that I watched through the patio windows of my lodge, which look out over the lake. I posted one of the early sunrise images as my “Photo of the Day”. Below is a later shot as the sky went pink.
I went for two shorter walks today. The first was along the coast near Barrow-in-Furness.
The second was up into the hills near Whicham.

It was raining hard as the sunset this evening and it had some extraordinary light.

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.
Walking in the Lake District Read More »
I moved on today to Pine Lake, near Carnforth. The drive here gave me a chance to do some walking in the Lake District – however the torrential rain and frozen rain stopped that.
I did however get some opportunity to take some photographs in Kirkstone Pass.
