I'm absolutely baffled by this picture of Belle Isle. I've spent a great deal of time at Windermere, my Grandparents lived there and I was a member of the Royal Windermere Yacht Club, yet I have no recollection of the hills behind the isle looking like that ! Also I'm puzzled by the orientation of the sun !

Could you say where you shot it from ?

IMHO its Derwentwater taken from somewhere near the Jetty at Keswick and looking towards Catbells (the spikey bit) Maiden Moor and Dale End. I guess its the wrong caption somehow.
But if you come from Windermere I am very surprised that you dont know it as it is a classic view. ;)
Cheers Brian


When I was a lad in the Lakes I spent virtually all my waking hours on the lake, ( Windermere ) and very rarely went to Keswick or Derwent Water, which in hind sight was a shame as Borrowdale and the lakes and hills around it are really stunning. So no, I've never seen that view from the Keswick end.

Here's a shot that I took recently from the other side of the lake looking towards where tomscott must have taken his picture from.

Ye sorry your right, I was editing a few images at the same time on Flickr must have added the wrong info to this pic and not realised.

Sorry for the confusion.

Phew ! ;D

Thanks for that tomscott - thought I was going senile :P

Nice pictures, love the one of the dog up in the hills.

Thanks, ye recently been putting a lot of pics up and just must have got a few mixed up. I live in the North Lakes, Penrith area. Ullswater is my back yard, rather than the more southern lakes.

Pity, but I know that I probably wouldn't appreciate the Lakes at all if I had grown up there. We mainly hang around the Chapel Stile, Coniston, Langdale area as we dont need the car as much then. But last year we did the Newlands Valley horseshoe, I'm now 57, I wish I'd tried these things when I was younger.........
Here's one from Maiden Moor also looking back towards Keswick, slight HDR but I still like it

Let me be the first to say...I am not a fisherman. But I gotta wonder...is this an escape mechanism from an unhappy home. :-\
Anyway, I call this a "Lonely fisherman"

Very nice! Did you use any sort of ND filter?

Thanks, Yeah I used a Format 10 Stop.
Can't help but love this one, it's a winner for sure! ;)
