Clearing Winter Storm

Loughrigg Tarn, The English Lake District

Always have your camera with you! For once in my life butter side up! Having slept in the car the previous night a fair amount of the white fluffy stuff had fallen by sunrise. The imeadiate issue was that of being trapped in a small lay-by unable to move. It became obvious I was going nowhere for some time, which tends to focus you in the matter at hand in making the best of a good situation, that is of the rapidly changing light and a clearing snow shower, the atmosphere is quite unique. This is my favourite of that morning.
