Buttermere

My birthday and a friend telephoned to ask if I was up for a Milky Way photoshoot! It will be visible between 03:05 and 04:00 ish. How could I refuse such an attractive offer!

We thought that having the popular Buttermere Tree in the foreground would be good and that's an hour's drive away for me. So here we go!

A great birthday party in nature and a fantastic night view

[Graham Harcombe]

@borof Thanks Borof 😊

[Annie-Sue]

not so keen on the usually iconic tree here - if you had waders you could go past it - but then you'd lose the shoreline - dilemna!!

[Christine]

This is magical. Love it. Fav

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, what a great birthday memory....super capture...

[Judith Johnson]

Wow, well worth the early start Graham!

@anniesue @chris17 @happysnaps @busylady Thanks all. It's an imperfect shot, the tree is not sharp, but it was a good learning exercise.

Beautiful shot! Well worth the effort!
