The Milky Way rises above Wast Water in the Lake District, stretching across the night sky behind some of England’s most iconic peaks. Yewbarrow stands to the left, with Great Gable and Lingmell centred beneath the stars, while Scafell and Scafell Pike frame the scene to the right.
 
Captured during still night conditions, the long exposure softens the surface of the lake, creating a calm foreground that contrasts beautifully with the vast detail of the Milky Way above. The dark silhouettes of the fells anchor the composition, emphasising both scale and solitude.
 
This photograph brings together landscape and night sky, celebrating the quiet grandeur of the Lake District after dark. A striking yet tranquil piece, ideal for those drawn to mountains, dark skies, and the timeless beauty of Britain’s national parks.
