The Ullswater from the Old Mine

[Paul Lange]

We spent Chrimbo in a cottage in the Lake District. Nice and relaxing and no stress but it did unfortunately rain solid for the first three days. A bit of a bummer and didn't give me much of a chance to get out with the camera. My plan was to make a series of bleak winter landscapes but it didn't really happen.

It was very overcast almost all of the time and I didn't take a tripod so this is probably not as sharp as it could have been.

Beautiful, BUT....even here you can't get away from White Van Man!

 

[Paul Lange]

I Know! I debated whether to clone it out.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You can't reason with them, Paul...

Goddam white vans! One bombed one of my foties the other day too.

Otherwise a beauty of a shot, Paul.

 

[Paul Lange]

Cheers Brian. Yep this photobombing is becoming a right problem, everyones in on it these days.

In have my suspicions that it might just be the one white van in fact. That new Ford Quantum must have seemed like a very clever idea on the drawing board!

Nice flowing composition, Paul. All very green still up there though. So, were you taking something out of the mine or putting it in?!
