Description: | Frederick Daniel Hardy specialised in sensitive representations of cottage life, where he captured moments of realization and wonder. Britains largest lake, Lake Windermere is in Cumbria, North England and is part of the Lake District National Park. Hardy captures the vigour and wild winds of the Northern countryside in this work, almost as though it were a snapshot. Much folklore and superstition surrounds Windermere, including hauntings, strange unidentified creatures and a white horse that appears to walk across the lake when harm is about to come to the neighborhood!
