Stunning photographs of Windermere's many moods greet readers of John Morrison's latest book...These are not all picture postcard shots. Mr Morrison himself comments that the dark, brooding skies of many images are not the stuff of tourist board literature. These images, however, are some of the most engaging in the book, showing Windermere to be a dynamic, bustling landscape, capturing not just its look, but its atmosphere...The juxtaposition between the solitary figures and the more populous images contributes to the enduring theme of Mr Morrison's fine book: that the lake is very much what people make of it - a resource to enjoy in all its untainted glory but also one that brings people together. - Westmorland Gazette
A celebration of the lake as it is today. John Morrison's photographs capture the lake and its surroundings in many different moods: showing not just what the lake looks like, but what it feels like too. His pictures are stunning. I particularly like his photo of two swans taking off from Waterhead in the evening light. Magical! - Keswick Reminder
A rounded and very affectionate portrait made all the more interesting by the addition of short essays spelling out his own love - and occasional dislikes - of the lake. - Cumbria
