Riassunto

When Wainwright made his first visit to the Lake District in the summer of 1930, aged just twenty-three, he was unprepared for what he found when he left the train at Windermere station. 'That week changed my life,' he wrote years later. 'It was the first time that I'd looked upon beauty.' His moment of epiphany came when he viewed Lake Windermere from the vantage point of Orrest Head. Millions of people have followed in Wainwright's footsteps. Indeed, for a lot of people, Windermere is the Lake District. But even when Ambleside, Bowness, Windermere and Lakeside are heaving with visitors, there's still room to roam - on the shoreline, on the lake itself and on the fells which surround it. This book is a celebration of the lake as it is today. John Morrison's photographs capture the lake and its surroundings in many different moods: showing not just what the lake looks like, but what it feels like too.

Recensione:

In celebration of the lake as it is today, Morrison's photographs capture the lake and its surroundings in many different moods, showing not just what the lake looks like, but what it feels like too. --Best of British

Author and photographer Morrison lives in Windermere, so who better to show us not just what the lake down the road looks like, but what it feels like, too. Its appeal has been appreciated for generations and in this superb book, we can keep on looking on its beauty. --Manchester Evening News

A rounded and very affectionate portrait made all the more interesting by the addition of short essays spelling out his own love - and occasional dislikes - of the lake. --Cumbria
