TEAL

BOWNESS-0N-WINDERMERE

Not a great day for photography, much of the day being overcast and cloudy. I wanted to try out the 35mm gear however, to see if it is still working OK after being retired for several years. So, I grabbed a roll of Velvia and headed for the Lake District for the day. Fortunately the sun showed itself occasionally, so I managed to get a few bright pictures. Naturally, I took the trusty Fuji with me to get some digital shots as well, this being one of them.

Teal is one of the boats doing tours of Lake Windermere, along with her sister ship 'Swan'. She is seen here parked at Bowness.

All comments are welcome, as always. Thanks.

Lighting really can do so much... the play of the water on hull and the various colours make this image terrific.

A trip on the lake would make for a peaceful day I'm sure. Great shot.
