Lake District
A break in the weather! - Buttermere, Lake District
This tree is a celebrity - one of the most photographed trees in the world, 'The Lone Tree' at Buttermere is a favourite among landscape photographers. So, of course it was on my 'must visit' list for Lake District, but as we reached the bank of the Lake, the trail was blocked by National Trust for some work. I checked the maps and the tree had to be less then 100 meters from the barricade so I jumped the fence and got this shot. Which I don't endorse in any way, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the shot. Aligning the tree with the break in the cloud cover was fun and I got some interesting compositions.
