Lake District

Shine bright like a Diamond! - Buttermere, Lake District

When I visited this exact waterfall 3 years ago in winters, I got very good conditions, the stream was in shadow and the mountains in the background were lit by the setting sun. This time around i visited in summers and per chance, got the exact opposite conditions. The sky was quite cloudy but there were small holes in the cover which were creating beautiful patches of light and shadow. I got lucky and shot at the right time when there was a spotlight on the waterfall and a dark background.
