Derwentwater

Went to the "lake district" for a small holiday! This is taken from the shores of Derwentwater! I croped it so you could see the main parts of it here's a little info about the lake that I found from http://www.visitcumbria.com/kes/derwent.htm ----------------
Derwentwater, at 3 miles long, 1 mile wide and 72 feet deep, is fed by the River Derwent catchment area in the high fells at the head of Borrowdale, and has a long historical and literary background. There are four islands, all owned by the National Trust, as is much of the shoreline. The Lake is very much a landscape of moods, varying from the dramatic waves splashing against Friar's Crag when driven by southerly gales, to the absolute mirror calm of early mornings. ----------------------
Please note it looks better in full view not this small one
