The English lake district

One of the locals of Derwent Water.
I was laying down on the gravel to get this shot with folk walking past wondering what on earth I was doing............(I wonder some days too)

New quiz.....................how many "lakes" are there in the "Lake District"?






This was one obliging Black Headed Gull,I was able to practice the creep not crop principle and after about 4 minutes I was within 6 foot of this bird.

A more traditional view............(just noticed a mucky dot on the lens)

Great photos TB, and the low angle certainly works. I know the answer, to the question. It's one believe it or not, Thats, Bassenthwaite Lake all the other are known as Mere's, Waters, or Tarns. Mrs S went to the Lakes a couple of years ago with her Sister, and was told this by the tour guide

You lot are getting just too good at this............corect WS

Not your usual view of the Lake District is it?,that water is salty any ideas?

Loving the local and a picture that was well worth everyone wondering what you were up too, it's a great sot as is the one of the Gull, both lovely photo's.

Mmm I knew the answer to your first question, i've had a holiday in the lake district, it rained all the time but I loved it.

My brain has been trying to work out your second question but at the moment i've drawn a blank

I love the lake district and lived in Keswick for 6 months many years ago

I answer to your question if I remember rightly there is only one lake in the lake district which is Bassenthwaite Lake. The rest are waters, tarns of reservoirs

ok, didnt see WS reply

You can have ago at the next one PPH, Cos I'm still

I think it looks like Whitehaven but I didnt spend that much time on the lake district coast but if it is Whitehaven then its salty water

Lovely photos TB and can just imagine the faces of folk walking past with you on the gravel.

Well done on getting the right answer everyone.
