The water was calm, almost mirror like and perfect for capturing the feel of the lake at dawn. Now all I needed was a splash of blue sky and a hint of sun. Despite all my coaxing I could not extract a glimmer of sunshine.<\/p>\n
Being grateful for the smidgen of colour that did appear I sought a new perspective in this tangle of gnarled branches of some long fallen tree.<\/p>\n
The foreground will always be an important part of any landscape and this tangled place made it something special even without the sun I had risen so early and driven so far for.<\/p>\n
