*** Thank you, everyone. :)
This is my fourth photo award from my solo trip to Windermere in the Lake District of the United Kingdom.
Previously, I was hesitant to travel alone, but thanks to my better half, who always encourages me to try new things. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the United Kingdom, and it was there that I became interested in this new hobby of photography.
Now that I'm back in India, I miss the UK terribly. :)
