Borrowdale today

[Ken Rennie]

Borrowdale is a valley in the Lake District with forests, rivers, a lake and is surrounded by hills rising to just over 3.000ft. I was hoping to find some Autumn colour but their is still a few weeks to go for most of the trees but the silver birches are looking good. It has been raining heavily for several days and the lake was very high with quite a bit of flooding. Thankfully no houses have been flooded and with a few days of good weather the water levels should return to normal before the winter brings us serious rain. As I was leaving I noticed that mist was starting to form in the little hollows so tomorrow could bring a temperature inversion and lots of lovely mist/ fog so back down for dawn. Comments, as always welcome Ken

Lovely set here, I especially like the 3rd one. The first one is also very nice.

For me the 5th one nails it. I love the backlit tree and all it's curves. Nice lens choice and composition.

Very nice set and I like all of them although #s 3,4, and 5 all keep me coming back for another look.

Sweet catches of light. I remember my trip through the Lake District fondly and these definitely take me back.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice set. #5 for me like Larry said.

Great shots! I am really drawn to the last one. I love trees and images such as these! So well done! Beautiful.

Hey Ken, what a cool series of photos. My favorites are the first two. I really like how the light is just kissing those select trees, and then getting a reflection. Well done.

#5 is beautiful, but if you would take the trees from the right side of #1 and combine them with the those beautifully lit trees in the background of #2, now that would be "the shot".
