Rydal Falls was near the top of my list of locations to visit in the Lake District. The series of cascading waterfalls stretching just under three miles, provides a wealth of varied imagery to photograph.
I was most excited about photographing The Grot, at the bottom of the falls. Standing on a bridge over the river, I was in the perfect position to capture the building, with the waterfall directly behind to give the scene depth. It was the very start of autumn and I wanted to emphasise the colour of the early brown leaves, contrasting with the still predominately green foliage enclosing this spot. I wanted the shot to feel like something from a fairy tale, with a mystical quality to the water and sprinkled with gold from the leaves.
