Derwentwater Reflection

A summer trip I took to the Lake District coincided with an almost unprecedented stretch of warm, dry, sunny weather. The lakes' water levels were very low, which created this very calm pool near Friars Crag and the town of Keswick that reflected the sky perfectly. It was an absolutely beautiful spot, but many locals expressed alarm at how low the water had gotten (usually, this whole rocky beach area is underwater).
