My favourite time of the year is here, the change from Summer to Autumn and Winter. The days are getting shorter and colder, a few frosts and 0 degree C temperature on the early starts with a change in the colours as well all add up to an invigorating time. I'm not very active photographically in the Summer as the harsh light and predominent greens aren't very favourable for me but now the trees are turning red and yellow I become far more enthusiastic.
The last weekend in September was calm and a high pressure sat over the Lake District, usually a good sign for clear skies and calm water so I decided to try a handy location at sunrise to see if the Autumn colours are really showing yet. I took a drive to Tarn Hows, a popular walking place that sits at quite a high elevation allowing a scenic view over South Lakeland. The colours aren't fully turned yet but I was greeted with flat calm water and an interesting cloudy sunrise.

A few more weeks and the colours will be in full swing, add a dusting of snow and we should be set for some interesting images.

I was also able to get a few shots of a few Lakeland mountains as well.
