| It was just a perfect day for a walk along the shore at Derwentwater in Keswick. Sunny, with a real chill in the air, but the light and the colours were just magical. |
 |
| A dusting of snow on the mountain tops. |
 |
| One of the launches - 'Princess Margaret Rose' - that operates around the lake. |
 |
| Looking down Derwentwater. |
 |
| A large boat house on the other side of the lake. |
 |
| You can follow the shore line (easy walking) from Keswick to Friar's Crag and beyond. |
 |
| Admiring the view. |
 |
| There were so many photographic opportunities. |
 |
| The view of Derwentwater from Friar's Crag. John Ruskin described the view as one of the three most beautiful scenes in Europe. |
 |
| The Ruskin Memorial stone, now Grade II Listed. Made out of Borrowdale slate, the memorial to John Ruskin (1819-1900) was erected in October 1900. Ruskin once described Keswick as a place almost too beautiful to live in. |
 |
| A closer look. (Part 2 of the visit to Derwentwater will appear tomorrow). |
A lovely area, my favourite part of the Lake District and very nice to see it again in autumn colours.
