I've always found the longest day of the year to be a special one and did not want my first Summer Solstice in Cumbria to pass by unremarked.  I woke early and was able to take these pictures from the front garden. Skiddaw looked wonderful as the light constantly changed and there was the unexpected bonus of a small inversion over the river and surrounding fields. After nearly an hour I was getting cold and decided that going back to bed was a sensible proposition!  I think I got the best of the day as by mid-morning high winds arrived with some (much needed) rain.

And this is what it has been like ever since

Several more pictures are on my Webshots album, where registered users can also leave comments.
