March Morning, Ullswater

“I have always loved the dramatic scenery in the Lake District. On this particular misty morning around Ullswater, the crags seem to be drifting in and out of the mist, creating a quite magical effect. It’s always amazing how different the same subject can look with different light and weather conditions.

I had parked at Aira Force and walked south west towards Ullswater. The sun was breaking through the mist and filling Ullswater with a silvery light. The footpath went across Glencoyne Park always with stunning views of the lake.

When I came to Groove Gill Beck, I sat on a rock to watch the wonders in front of me and was soon sketching.”
