Boathouse on Wastwater The southwest end of Wastwater is much less travelled than that closer to the mountains but affords some glorious views of its own. I love this boathouse tucked away where hardly anyone will ever see it and beyond, in the distance, the majesty of Yewbarrow, Kirkfell and Great Gable.	Borrowdale Watermill This fabulous old Watermill is hidden away in the woods beneath Bessyboot and near Seatoller. I have been twice to get this and other images. The first time the river that serviced the mill was in spate and I could not get to a prime photography position, but I could the second. I will most certainly go again.	Gable Beck The wooden bridge over Gable Beck and below Great Gable looking towards Styhead. Note the single tree in the midst of the wilderness of rocks and stones.
The Buttermere Tree Mono image of the lone tree on the shore of Buttermerre looking towards Fleetwith Pike as the sun bursts over the shoulder of High Crag.	Distant Blencathra Returning from the Buttermere valley via Newlands Hause this view of Blencathra opened up. The first snows of winter dusting the top of the fell and layers of sunlight in the valleys between us.	Fleetwith Pike Summit One of the two summit cairns on Fleetwith Pike.
