Located at the guts of Lake District national Park, Lake Windermere is England’s largest expanse of freshwater.
it is also the ideal place to welcome in a new day during the warm summer months.
It was 4:00am and my ship rocked gradually below the parting night sky. The brightest stars were still faintly visible to the eye.
The moon’s cheerful face was going to greet the sun and hail another beautiful day, these 2 celestial chums never some distance from each other in the heavens.
I fixed my fishing rod to the side of the boat and gawked up at the last coals of stars as they faded from view.
there was something liberating about the night sky ; a yearning to explore further afield washed through me.
As my mind drifted, the sun began to climb above the horizon. Soon, a fantastic array of color spread throughout the morning sky.
As the sun rose higher, its first-light began to flicker on the open water, like gems dancing at the new dawn.
Daybreak was met with the attractive song of the skylark, nature’s most classy alarm call.
I peered thru the morning mist and scanned the perimeter of the lake. I was still alone, without any other person to witness morning’s glory.
I sensed a fabulous feeling of solitude. Secluded on my boat, I was the sole person alive sufficiently lucky to observe this new light.
A gentle breeze puffed its way across the lake, drawing ripples in the water.
As morning complicated, the mist cleared to bare the Naked mountains that form the backdrop to this exquisite picture.
The occasional being might be seen around the edge of the lake including a man and his dog, drawn from their slumber to enjoy the new day.
I had lost my personal audience with Lake Windermere, but there had been always tomorrow.
