Lakeside Clubs

I got up at 6am today, in order to take some sunrise pictures at the Lake. Of course I got there far too early and so spent almost an hour fiddling around with lenses, tripod, shutter release cable, with cold fingers. None of the resultant pre-sunrise pictures were up to much but once the sun came up, over the snow sprinkled Pennines (the Western side being far less heavily affected than the East,) the light bathing the lake shore was golden.

This picture shows the sailing club, with its terrific panoramic window, and the rowing club beyond. A few more from this morning, including these cormorants, can been seen on Flickr.
