I can see why The Lakes inspired those famous poets and artists! It’s quite breathtaking – even when the sun isn’t shining.

I have heard you have lots of beautiful lakes in Minnesota too. We almost got up there earlier this year while we were on a road trip through Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. We ended up only being in southern Minnesota though and just passed through. Minnesota is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes."Ken M wrote:I want to go there!
Lucky you living there! I agree - never on a bank holiday or even a summer weekend. These were taken late Autumn - very kind light then, as you say. It's a good while since I went there in Spring.mikeriach wrote:I lived in the Lakes for 20 years and can vouch for the beauty on the area.
Never go on a bank holiday as it is full to bursting with tourists.
I liked late autumn to spring best for the light.
However when it rains it really pours (it is the Lake District after all and the water has to come from somewhere).
