Awesome! Breathtaking! I can’t find enough superlatives. You have even caught the reflections in the distant water. Bravo, David. Agnes xx
David Robinson replied

Thanks Agnes … It was a beautiful day (yesterday) .. frosty in the valley … but less so as you got up the fellside. I’ve got a few more pics that I took on the way up that I’m looking forward to messing with!! Hope you had a nice Christmas and thanks for the lovely comment!

Stunning view north towards Keswick across Derwent Water. Correct me if necessary, but I take it that it is early morning with the sun rising behind you? If so, you must have walked in the dark to get to the summit of Castle Crag and await for the sunrise, or were you encamped nearby?
Could you detail the equipment you used for the picture? Many thanks.
