Lake District

Swimming in fire! - Bowness-on-Windermere , Lake District

The sky at High Dam was dark and cloudy which added to the mood of the images I wanted to get there. But, in all honesty, I was badly craving a good golden hour shot, as we had mostly had an overcast sky on the trip so far. After shooting at High Dam, we decided to pick up some food from Windermere on the way to our accommodation in Outgate. The route took us through Bowness-on-Windermere and we reached the mouth of lake Windermere just as the sky opened up to let the fiery light from the setting sun through. The scene transformed almost instantly and we were lucky enough to be next to a car park. The local fauna too decided to come out for a swim in the golden lake.
