An image which I shot in early Spring 2016 of Zodiacal Light as it appeared in the sky over Coniston Water in the Lake District around an hour after sunset.
I specifically went to this part of the Lakes because I knew there would be a good chance to see this elusive phenomena because the angle of light would be at a sharp angle against the Milky Way at that time of year. I also had in mind the lack of light pollution there is in the direction I was facing, and that the the Lake & fells would provide a pleasing foreground.
