The Photograph

Looking from Loughrigg Terrace across Grasmere towards the village itself, the sun was casting dappled shade across the scene. I set the camera on a tripod and give it a 15second exposure so the lake and clouds would be smoothed out. Because of the contrast created by the sun and cloud shadows, I thought it would work well in mono.
