Synopsis
There have been many photographic books on the English Lake District, but never one quite like this one. In Lake District Moods, the award-winning photographer Jon Sparks takes a fresh and different approach to recording the beauties of one of Britain's best-loved landscapes. Through 140 stunning images, he manages to capture the essence of what makes the Lake District what it is, by looking at it in all its many, varied and constantly-changing moods. There are no chocolate-box images of yachts at Widneremere here, nor the traditional view of the Langdale Pikes from Elterwater. Instead, we have subtle details of lake and leaf, the effect of the sun on the water, and the intricate patterns formed by the drystone walls as they cross the valleys. Lake District Moods is an innovative and exciting new look at what the tourist board calls 'the most beautiful corner of England'.
