Causey Pike in the Lake District England © 2012 Nick Katin

As a regular visitor to England I’ve accumulated many photos of one of England’s gems, the Lake District in the North West. It’s like a mini Switzerland without the ruggedness and snow caps (although there is sometimes snow in winter). The tallest mountain, if you could call it is less than 1000 metres. As for walkers the thrill of being able to ‘conquer’ a couple of peaks in a day is addictive. The same could be said for landscape photographers. The soft hills, green fields and smaller vistas gives much more flexibility. The only obstacle being the weather, which can be variable to say the least. Those fields are green for a reason! 1/40 F14 30mm ISO 100
