Ullswater

Today we wanted to visit the Mountain Art Exhibition at Rheged. So we drove out  via Dunmail Raise, St John's in the Vale and the A66 and returned via Pooley Bridge and Ullswater. The plan being that we could stop off at Ullswater if the light was interesting enough.
The exhibition is excellent, with some beautiful and interesting paintings, photography and sculpture. Visit it if you can, it's well worth a visit.
We did stop at Ullswater, the light was good, briefly and here are some of the images I captured.

Looking south towards Hartsop and Kirkstone.

Looking north towards Pooley Bridge, Norfolk Island clearly visible and Silver Point is top right.

My best friend and partner in life.

Across to Silver Point and the lower slopes of Place Fell.


there were two sailing dinghys trying to catch what little breeze there was. I just like the simplicity of the composition, the contrast of colours and the light picking out the bright red sail.
