Found at the center of Lake District countrywide Park, Lake Windermere is England’s biggest expanse of freshwater.
it is also the perfect place to welcome in a new day during the warm summer months.
It was 4:00am and my boat rocked gently below the parting night sky. The brightest stars were still faintly obvious to the unaided eye.
The moon’s cheerful face was about to greet the sun and hail another beautiful day, these two celestial friends 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 embers of stars as they faded from view.
there was something liberating about the night sky ; a yearning to explore further afield washed thru me.
As my mind drifted, the sun began to climb above the horizon. Shortly, a fantastic array of color spread across the morning sky.
As the sun rose higher, its first-light began to sparkle on the open water, like gems dancing at the new dawn.
Daybreak was greeted with the lovely song of the skylark, nature’s most classy alarm call.
I peered through 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 superb feeling of solitude. Secluded on my ship, 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 reveal the Naked mountains that form the backdrop to this wonderful picture.
The occasional being might be seen around the fringe of the lake including a man and his dog, drawn from their slumber to enjoy the new day.
I had lost my private audience with Lake Windermere, but there was always tomorrow.
