I spent 10 days around Ullswater early Autumn 2013 and the weather was unbelievably wet. It poured with rain every single day except one. I went into the trip with a certain amount of scenes pre visualised and planned as I always do prior to these trips. All those plans fell apart when the weather didn’t comply. However, and I often say to people in photography related discussions the skill of the photographer is to work with what they are presented with. This is one such example. It would have been too easy to stay indoors and not venture out. We only need a few seconds of light to transform the landscape and this particular shot has instantly become a personal favourite. Kirkstone Pass is a notorious stretch of road from Ullswater over towards Windermere. Seen here as a glowing ribbon across the harsh Lake District Landscape.
