Skyfire

Another shot from the majestic Derwentwater at this great little remote location looking out over the mountains at the exact moment of sunset.

This was the last image of a very productive day, I'd meant to be getting up here for sunrise this morning but that had to be binned after the previous evening my football team (Wigan Athletic) unexpectedly knocked one of the best football teams in Europe (Man City) out of the FA Cup so more than a few beverages were consumed after the match! so getting up at 4am was pretty much off the agenda...

Anyway, the weather forceast had predicted a dull cloudy day so I wasn't expecting much up here, thankfully the weaher forecast was totally wrong with great light during the day and a superb sunset which is often the case, now I'm not a meteorologist in anyway shape or form but I'm pretty sure if I ever fancied a career change I could just make up some random weather forecast the day before on telly and there's half a chance it might be right!

For a change though the weather had been kind to me, and standing around in the water for an hour or so here I was rewarded with a nice show come sundown for once, the day after I bumped into another photographer at Buttermere and he said he had shot sunrise on this morning, and he said it was pretty poor so it turns out that staying in bed was the right choice on this occasion, as you always feel like you've missed something good if you don't make the effort to get up.....
