750 wide destroys this pic. (It looks bloody nice at 1280 x 800).

The weather finally changed... after weeks of stuff coming from the south we finally got some fresh arctic air. I had taken 270 photos by 07.30

This is probably the best.

That's REALLY nice.

I took around 700 pics during my week in the Lakes and never got anything close to that good.

Thanks... It's a 'right place right time' thing. I live about 15 mins from where this was taken and I must have gone there 30 times in the past couple of years (very early in the morning) and more often than not the light just isn't right, or the wind is up and the reflections have gone. Today things were just about perfect.

Hell even the roads looked good!

I was certainly in the right place (stunning scenery!) but maybe just at the wrong time (I like my sleep!). Where was that taken BTW? I was staying in Glenridding and loved it.

High Crag from the east shore of Buttermere

As requested, a higher res version. this is 1920 x 1200 (for my Mac) squash factor 10, but it's still 1.7 mb
