Seems I've really been neglecting my Flickr stream of late but I've really not had much time at all, so apologies for contacts photos I've missed these last few weeks.

A cracking morning on Buttermere with Yorkshire Mountain Goat, Terry Roberts.

With the conditions looking really favourable I'd planned to go up and shoot sunrise in the Lakes this morning, I would probably have gone further South but Terry suggested Buttermere and I'd not shot here for quite some time so I readily agreed, it's about another 40 minutes on the drive time to get here in a morning so I only usually shoot it if I'm stopping up here.

The conditions didn't disappoint, with absolutely loads of rolling mist over the lake and some good spells of totally calm water.

Considering the sky was 100% cloudless I've got about 3 or 4 from this morning that I'm really happy with, this is one of the locations you can shoot without being reliant on a dramatic sky with the amount of options on offer. This was the first shot I took shortly after arriving with the sun not yet risen, I'd never bothered using this fence here before either so thought I'd include it in this one.
