Pillar at Sunset
Taken at sunset in the English Lake District. On the hottest day in summer 1991 I spent the night on Green Gable. It was an unforgettable experience. As the sun set it turned the fells into golden monoliths. As dusk fell the monoliths turned inky back and misty tendrils swirled around them. The night sky was filled with a myriad of stars and shooting stars.
Taken in the Lake District National Park, UK

A wonderful sunset, beautifully captured; this is the true essence of all that is the Lake District, even when there is no lake or Water in sight.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Magnificent, I am so looking forward to this place, I will be in the Lake district the week of October 4th staying near a place called Kendal, I hope I can capture some of what you have. Wonderful work!

Colin Cartwright
You’ve captured some of the magical atmosphere of the lake district, Rob.
The contrast in cool blues and charcoal, with that warm sunset sky ,and the sharp isolated ridges, creates a superb scene.
I’ll be there next week (meeting my American friend, Bonnie, above)
