Borrowdale in Pink

Borrowdale in Pink

This was the last shot as I was packing up, while I was chatting to a fellow medium-format photographer. It’s got everything: lovely subtle pink & blue sky colours, reflection in still water… well worth getting up early for.

Taken on the Hasselblad using Fuji Provia film, at Friar’s Crag on the end of Derwentwater, Keswick, in the Lake District .

    I love moments like when you see something like this. And you think for a moment that maybe you are living in a dream.

    Beautifully shot.

    Thank you for sharing your moment.

  • PigleT replied

    Thanks – I think living in a dream sums it up at that time of morning. Goodness knows how I found my way from b&b to the end of the lake so early. :)
