Wastwater Colour

Back in 2006 I spent a few days in the English Lake District.  As I recall now, it wasn’t the most successful of trips as the weather didn’t generally play ball.  One rainy day the weather was forecast to break late in the afternoon so, to kill a few hours, I took a drive along the small mountain roads across the Hardknott and Rhinos passes to Wasdale on the Western side of the Lake District.  So it was that I found myself on the banks of Wastwater about an hour before sunset.
