Blea Tarn in Little Langdale is one of the most spectacular lakes in the Lake District National Park. This was the second and third time I had visited the small tarn. On my drive up to the Lakes I took a detour to explore the Langdales in the rain to get an idea of where I could park and what I wanted to get if the weather improved. Below you can see the rain on the tarn, although the water was more still, giving a better reflection. The next day the weather had improved greatly and I went back to get a slightly different view, but still with the Langdale Pikes in the background, this time with the sunlight on them!

Abbot Hall Art Gallery is both a museum and a gallery in Kendal. It was built in 1759 by Colonel George Wilson. It stands on the west bank of the River Kent (the same side as the town). In fact I had parked my car in the car park just in front of the gallery. In framing the photograph I went for a close up and cropped out the river, although you can see the railings on the edge of the bank in the foreground.

The Bluebird Cafe by the Lake is seen here at dawn. The sun was just coming over the hills behind me whilst taking this picture. I saw the possibility of a great reflection so set the tripod up really low. Just as I was getting ready to fire the shutter a man

backed up his boat trailer right into my photograph (as you can see on the far left of the frame). I waited about ten minutes for him to unhook the trailer and drive his 4×4 out of my photograph. I still took the photo though because I had worked hard to frame the reflection of the cafe in the water.

White Nancy is a structure on top of The Saddle of Kerridge, overlooking both the village of Kerridge and the town of Bollington. I first walked up to White Nancy with a group of friends when staying at the nearby Savio House retreat as a child. It was built in 1817 by John Gaskell. Originally it had an door into a single room which was furnished with stone benches and a round stone table, but this entrance is now blocked.
