I had seen Wast Water on the map but never seen the lake in the flesh before. It was a Saturday and the weather promised to stay clear (which it did). We were staying with a group of photographer friends in Eskdale, so I asked which lake would be best for photography in the morning and was advised to go the point where the above image was captured. As you can see the sun had just come over the fells to light up Yewbarrow Fell and the surrounding mountains.
