Curbar Edge In Derbyshire Fog
Curbar Edge In Derbyshire Fog
Curbar Edge sits in an area of peat moorland and gritstone rock of north-central England. The Edge is part of a long series of west-facing gritstone escarpments, collectively known as the Eastern Grit. I was fortunate that early morning as there was heavy fog flowing off the upper plateau and down over the escarpment into the valley below. The rising sun on the right side of the image provided a warmth that contrasted with the cool blue tones of the fog in the Edge’s shadow. Fortunately, the local cattle moved off the edge in time before the fog lifted and not be part of the composition. The challenge was finding an outcropping of rock along the edge that would provide me with a perspective to capture the breadth of the escarpment as it faded into the distance. (Without falling off, of course.)
