Calm before the storm (HFF Everyone)

HFF 09/04/2021

The larger boats in the picture are two of several operated by the Keswick Launch Company. They start their journey here at the Keswick boat landings and cruise around the lake stopping at seven lakeshore jetties where you may go ashore or join the various boats. Alternatively, you can stay on the boat and enjoy the 50 minute trip around Derwentwater.

Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in north west England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria.

The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately is 4.8 km long by 1.6 km wide and is some 22 m deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited.

Love this one Doug. I was just going to suggest it to our group but I see you beat me to it :) This is very reminds me of one of my own favourite photos of long ago. 'Storm over Derwent'. Well done.

Fantastic picture Doug. So beautifully atmospheric. I think I see a house with a kind of turret when viewed large. Is that the inhabited Island? I wonder who lives there, or maybe it's a hotel?
HFF and wish you a good and safe weekend.

Thanks so much for your visit and kind words Rosa. Regarding the inhabited island, the following link may be of interest:

The island on the left is Derwent Island, but the house itself is hidden by the trees.

This is beautiful and, to me, intriguing, Doug. At first, I was sure this was in some tropical island in the far East! The light filtering through the threatening skies, lighting up the mid ground vegetation and sparkling on the lake surface is beautiful and your composition impeccable.

HFF!
