Found at the guts of Lake District countrywide Park, Lake Windermere is England’s largest expanse of freshwater.
it is also the ideal place to greet in a new day in the warm summer months.
It was 4:00am and my boat rocked delicately below the parting night sky. The brightest stars were still faintly visible to the naked eye.
The moon’s content face was about to greet the sun and hail another stunning day, these two astronomical pals never far from each other in the heavens.
I fixed my fishing rod to the side of the ship and gazed up at the last coals of stars as they faded from view.
there was something liberating about the night sky ; a yearning to explore further afield washed through me.
As my mind drifted, the sun started to climb above the horizon. Shortly, a glorious array of color spread across the morning sky.
As the sun rose higher, its first-light began to flicker on the open water, like gems dancing at the new dawn.
Daybreak was met with the lovely song of the skylark, nature’s most classy alarm call.
I peered through the morning mist and scanned the fringe of the lake. I was still alone, without any other person to witness morning’s glory.
I sensed a fabulous feeling of solitude. Secluded on my ship, I was the sole person alive lucky enough to observe this new light.
A gentle breeze puffed its way across the lake, drawing ripples in the water.
As morning sophisticated, the mist cleared to bare the Naked mountains that form the backdrop to this delightful picture.
The occasional being could be seen around the fringe of the lake including a man and his dog, drawn from their slumber to enjoy the new day.
I had lost my private audience with Lake Windermere, but there had been always tomorrow.
