This image was taken on the way up to Haystacks. I was out walking and shooting with my buddy Lea, and again in typical Lake District style we were constantly battling with with squalling showers and high wind.

I remember being suprised at the heather still being out, this was taken in late September. I was drawn to the muted colour palate with the vibrancy of the beautiful heather and even though the light on the day was pretty flat it is an image that articulates the ‘real Lake District’.

The lake nearest is Buttermere and Crummock Water can be seen in the distance.
