Beauty in Green : The Lake District

Wordsworth wrote about it, and once there, you know why! The beauty of the place, cannot be described in words, however much you may have heard, seeing is a different experience altogether! The green round hills, the varying hues of greens, the lakes anywhere and everywhere you go, the small English towns or should call them villages, the sheep and the cows grazing.. Its a place of beauty, and I really don't have words to write about it.. Just the photos say everything there is to say about this breathtaking region of UK...

We went to Lake District on a long May weekend, unfortunately the weather wasn't what it should have been in May! It started warm, and the entire weekend then turned chilly and rainy! arghhhh! It was the first terrible summer weekend of 2007, and that was how the whole of 2007 summer went..

Anyways we had hired a car, and drive down from London. Stopped for lunch at Buxton and then reached Kendal where we were staying in a bed and breakfast.

Windermere is the main town in lake district next to the Windermere lake. Its a huge lake, calm and serene and Winderemere has tons of places to stay in too just next to the lake!!
This is Windemere town and a park there with the view of the lake. Would love to exercise and play in such an exotic location!


This is a painting like view,in a garden just next to the Windermere lake..


Would'nt you also love to take your daily evening walks at a location like this?


and another painting view.. was so un-real, sometimes I still wonder how can it be so dreamy a place??


and here again, another view from the same park, of the same Windermere lake.. The colours change completely, the entire view changes...!


Winderemere lake again.. You can boat there, or do water sports if keen enough! Given the weather at that time, we sure weren't:)

Just some scenes while driving around the region...Here you can spot the sheep grazing...

...and here is the sheep in focus! At least it was the focus for our trip photographer! Experimenting his new and expensive camera in Lake District... Sure was a good one, both the camera and the photographer!!

This was another of the lakes that we just drove to, don't remember the name. The place was cloudy and freezing, and we had a 100 GBP bet on whether one of us can out his head into the freezing water or not!

.. one guy did it here!! Ram ka naam liya and paani main sar daal diya..! all for what? 100 pounds:)



This was the view from our hotel in Kendal, apparently this region was covered by the sea earlier and then the water receded.


this is the view of the villages that we drove through, sometimes aimlessly.. just taking in the air, the atmosphere of the place..

Here is another lake in the farway view...
