Derwentwater

Chris, John and I took the launch (water taxi) out on the lake. I used to view romantic paintings as hopelessly fantastical and improbable until seeing Derwentwater under scudding clouds and afternoon slanted sun. One photo from today, with the hill in shadow and filtered golden light on the trees, looks just like a landscape by one of the most improbable romantic painters. (2003)
