Thank You Mary Alice, I have located the position on Google Earth. This is a place not visited much by the general public, I discovered it by accident. About 500 yards north of this point is the Derwentwater Hotel, Portinscale where I stayed for one night. the next morning about 7:00 I walked down the path to see the lake and found this view at the end of it. A special place. Bob

Thank You Epi, You can stay there, at £70 a night. I arrived at 7:00pm and I was charged only £40! A nice place but I would soon run out of money. Bob

Really great Reflecion!Cheers. MY CONTEST

Jurgis, as you can see from my earlier replys if you have the cash you can be king. You would love to stay at the hotel and take a walk up the hill nearby - I think its called "Catbells" but if your not up to it I think the bar stays open until midnight. Bob

Jurgis Karnavicius, on April 29, said:

You know Bob I'm not so much interested in bars:)... in Lake District I was in 2006 participating in 5-days orienteering competition, we stayed in caravan camp near Kendal. Next such competition will take place in 2010 so I hope to be there again:)... Greetings, Jurgis

Beautiful photo bobpercy: lovely composition and balance in the scene.

Best Regards,

bobpercy, on May 15, said:

Sean, Thanks for the kind words. I have to admit taking photos in the lakes can be very rewarding beacause of the quality of the scenery. Bob

Madidi, on May 15, said:

Couldn't agree more Bob: spent some time here a few years ago and it was a magical place. The weather wasn't as kind then as it was for you, but all that water has to come from somewhere!! :-)

Best Regards,

Sean.

You're very kind, as you can tell from the comments history I discovered this view by accident. I was lucky I had my camera; can you imagine attempting to describe this special place. Bob
