The Lake District is the result of over 500 million years of geological processes. From kilometre-thick ice sheets, colliding continents to tropical seas, the Lake District landscape is truly unique.<\/p>\n
Now September is in full swing and autumn falls upon us, the light changes. And there\u2019s no better place than the Lake District to enjoy the changing seasons.

Copyright: Andrew Locking<\/p>\n Perhaps the most iconic Lake District landscape is reflections in one of the many natural lakes, captured on a beautiful, calm day. Whether it is a jetty, lakeside manor house, woodland or\u00a0fell tops, whatever is reflected, these\u00a0Lake District reflections when enjoyed up close, draw you in.<\/p>\n The Lake District is a photographer\u2019s\u00a0paradise and lots of fun can be had playing with silhouettes. Andy Goldsworthy\u2019s sculpture work in the Lakes is a good starting point for inspiration.<\/p>\n In a landscape where Herdwick sheep rule the fells, and the old mining\u00a0paths have become their highways,\u00a0there\u2019s lots of opportunities for some surreal photography thanks of\u00a0these masters of the fells.<\/p>\n Reduce the saturation\u00a0of your\u00a0landscape and combine with some superb silhouettes and you\u2019ve got yourself some pretty great surreal landscape photography. Playing with scale in black and white works\u00a0really well too.<\/p>\n Copyright: Jordan Stimpson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The famous light and colour of the Lake District landscape is, in part, what many artists drawn to the Lakes were most mesmerised by. From Alfred and William\u00a0Heaton Cooper,\u00a0WG\u00a0Collingwood, JMW Turner and John Ruskin to\u00a0the playful landscapes of Beatrix Potter.\u00a0Rise with the sun or watch her set over a sleeping Lake District\u00a0and enjoy a peaceful Landscape like non-other.<\/p>\n Space is one of the Lake District\u2019s greater attributes and with this come scale (England\u2019s largest mountain and longest lake). But as well as\u00a0scale in the Lakes there is also abundance. In Spring, head to Glencoyne Bay on Ullswater, or Dora\u2019s Field, and enjoy, as Wordsworth famously penned, \u201ca host of golden daffodils\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0Head to\u00a0Skelghyll Woods, Ambleside<\/strong><\/a>, where not only will your eyes be treated to a carpet of bluebells, but the heady perfume on the fresh, dewy Lake District air of so many wild flowers is also a treat like any other. The waterfalls, red squirrels and Osprey\u2019s of Dodd Wood, Keswick, offer pleasure enough. But look up, and the trees standing like sentry\u2019s offer great inspiration for some autumn photography.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to share any of your Lake District surreal photographs with us.
