Hideaway by Pete Rowbottom Via Flickr: One of my favourite locations in the Lake District for Autumn, there are some fantastic trees around this area which have brilliant vividly coloured leaves that coat the rocks below and add another dimenion to this already beautiful scene. Getting to this spot isn't the easiest thing in the world to do as it's a choice between wading through some deep moving water or down an extremely steep and potentially dangerous bank, amazingly (for me) I came down the bank without incident and out via the water which for a change didn't come over the top of my wellies which I consider a massive result ! The location didn't dissapoint again this year although I really had to work hard for images due to the lens and filters fogging really badly. I didn't think I'd managed to get much from this composition until I checked back over the days shoot this morning and found this which was hiding away inbetween some shot's i'll end up canning. As I was leaving here there was a foreign couple on the waters edge that had been leaning arund the little grotto building trying to get pics of the waterfall behind it on their phones, they were trying allsorts and one was close to falling in hanging onto the building... when I got out of the water I said t them you do know you can go in there? he looked a bit blank so I opened up the unlocked door for him, she burst out lauighing and he seemed a bit embarassed but they both thanked me and seemed over the moon they could now get their shots.. you must wonder what they were thinking, "why has smeone plonked a big stone building RIGHT in front of this beautiful waterfall blocking the view" ?. The mind boggles.
