Daybreak On Lake Windermere England: Located at the heart of Lake District National Park, Lake Windermere is England’s largest 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 visible to the naked eye. The moon’s happy face was about to greet the sun and hail another beautiful day, these two celestial chums never far from one another in the heavens. I fixed my fishing rod to the side of the boat and gazed up at the last embers of stars as they faded from view. #lanternshow#tripinspired#themeparks#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
